Cheesemaking: Crumbling the Curd

Description

Mrs. M. E. Scott placing a lid on a chessput, or vat, into which curd has been crumbled, 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. The sinker, or lid, is pressed down on top of the curd before the vat is put in the cheese press. Mounted on Photo File card with LAVC/PHO/P1538. With typed and ms. note. Card 20 in a series of 27. Originally held in Photo File: Cheesemaking.
