About cheese from milk of buffalo, fresh or processed

cpc code 22252 covers the production and processing of cheese made from the milk of buffalo. Buffalo milk is a significant agricultural product in many parts of the world, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. The cheese industry based on buffalo milk plays an important role in the economies of these regions, providing employment, income, and a valuable source of nutrition.

Production process

The production of cheese from buffalo milk involves several key steps. First, the milk is collected and transported to a processing facility. It is then pasteurized to kill any harmful bacteria. The milk is then coagulated, often using rennet or other coagulating agents, to separate the curds from the whey. The curds are then cut, cooked, and pressed into the desired shape and size. Finally, the cheese may be aged or further processed, depending on the specific variety being produced.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of buffalo milk cheese include the raw buffalo milk, as well as various processing equipment such as vats, separators, and presses. Rennet or other coagulating agents are also necessary. Aging facilities, such as temperature and humidity-controlled rooms, are required for certain cheese varieties. 22251 Milk and cream, not concentrated nor containing added sugar or other sweetening matter

Production outputs

These cheeses may be consumed directly or used as ingredients in other food products. The whey byproduct from the cheese-making process can also be further processed into other dairy products. 22253 Butter and other fats and oils derived from milk
