How Long Does It Take To Produce Mozzarella Cheese?
Mozzarella cheese can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours to produce, depending on the method used. The traditional method involves heating milk, adding rennet to coagulate the milk, and then cutting and stretching the curds to form cheese. This process can take a few hours. Some modern methods use citric acid instead of rennet and can produce cheese in as little as 30 minutes. Aging the cheese can take anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on the desired flavor and texture.
