The present invention concerns a procedure for treating curd particles (10) produced in a cheese kettle, and a cheese mould (2) for applying the procedure, made of strainer sheet and provided with a separate cover part (4). The cheese mould (2) is placed in a tapping vat (1), where it separates the curd particles (10) tapped from the cheese kettle from the whey (9) accompanying them. It is essential in the invention that on the mould (2) is used a strainer-like cover part with which the mould is closed for the duration of curd particle tapping. By this expedient the necessity to level the curd particle surface before the subsequent pre-pressing step is avoided. In the pre-pressing, the strainer-like cover part (4) of the mould can be used, and the object of the pre-pressing step is to compact the particles into a cheese block that can be conveyed to further treatment.
