After pressing, the cheese forms need to be immersed in a brine for salting the cheese. Salt has roles in cheese besides adding a salty flavor. It preserves cheese from spoiling, draws moisture from the curd, and firms cheese’s texture in an interaction with its proteins.
Dipping the cheese into the salt brine is a very important step in the cheesemaking process. Salt helps by formation of the cheese rind, giving cheese better texture, even salty taste and aroma. It draws moisture from the curd
and it also contributes to the food safety as salt stops bacteria from spoiling the cheese.
