ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for use in the manufacture of cheeses which proceed through a cheddaring stage. The method comprises treating a pre-drained and stirred cheese curd with a compressive and shear force so as to simultaneously expel the residual whey and permit fibrous development to occur in the fused curd. The apparatus for achieving this comprises a weighted shear assembly, such as a continuous belt overlying a portion of the conveyor belt upon which the cheese curd is conveyed in the direction indicated by the arrows. The cheese curd is subjected to compressive and shear forces as it passes beneath the continuous belt. The apparatus for pre- stirring the curd prior to passing under the continuous belt may comprise a plurality of adjustable position stirrers which move above the conveyor belt in the forward and reverse direction of the conveyor belt.
