What are the benefits of adding calcium chloride in cheese production?

Adding calcium chloride (CaCl₂) to cheese production offers several benefits:

  1. Improved Curd Firmness – Helps strengthen weak milk (especially pasteurized or stored milk), promoting better curd formation.

  2. Faster Coagulation – Speeds up rennet activity, ensuring more consistent clotting time.

  3. Higher Cheese Yield – Enhances moisture retention, reducing protein loss during cutting/stirring.

  4. Better Texture – Prevents soft, brittle curds, especially in low-calcium milk.

  5. Balanced pH – Counters acidity fluctuations for improved flavor and shelf life.

Ideal dosage: 0.01%-0.02% of milk volume. Used widely in mozzarella, cheddar & fresh cheeses.
