Semi-hard or hard cheese model with a central opening with continuous rind, such as a Gouda model, is made by feeding the curd into a cheese mould (10, 22) provided with a central moulder, (11, 15, 24), which during the feeding and pressing of the curd screens off a central room. The moulder (10, 22) has a fittingly movable upper part (4) which cooperates with the follower or the moulder (10, 22) cooperates with a follower provided with a central opening (14). In a continuous process the curd is fed into a shaping trough via a feeding pipe (20) provided with a central moulding pipe (21), prepressed with the central room being screened off, whereafter the block of curd is brought into a a cheese mould (22) provided with a fixed central moulder (24). Optionally an upper part (31) with cutting edge may be placed on the central moulder with which when introducing the block of cheese a central piece is cut out. |
