Once the milk has been heated to 32°C for about 30 minutes, the milk enzymes and rennet are added. Processing takes as long as it needs for coagulation to occur, about 30 minutes; after which the curds are cut using a cross movement and it is left to rest for a few minutes then it is put into the forma. As soon as it is extracted from the forms it is turned for the first time. The second time it is turned after 6 hours and the third time after another 6 hours. Brine is used for salting, 2 hours for every kilo. Ageing lasts around 30 days.
