A method and apparatus of making bulk cheese utilizes a vertical tower (10) wherein the curd and whey mixture is introduced at the top of the tower and the cheese is withdrawn from the bottom of the tower. The tower (10) is placed under negative pressure by drawing a vacuum through the center of the tower (10) along its central axis and along the periphery of the tower (10) to draw whey from the curd and whey mixture toward the center of the tower (10) and toward the perimeter of the tower (10) to remove it from the curd as the cheese is formed. |
