Cheesemaking: Crumbling the Curd
Description
Close-up detail of Mrs. M. E. Scott crumbling curd into a wooden chessput, or vat, at her home, West Stonesdale ( Swaledale). The vat is constructed of wooden staves and metal hoops, some of which are pierced at the base to give draining holes. Cheese calico is placed into the vat, before curd is crumbled into it by hand and filled as firmly as possible. When it is full, a sinker, or lid, will be pressed down on top of the curd before the vat is put in the cheese press. Mounted on Photo File card. With typed note. Card 19 in a series of 27. Originally held in Photo File: Cheesemaking.
