Abstract
A cheese transfer system is adapted for receiving a column of cheese as it is discharged from a continuous cheese making system. The cheese transfer system has an expandable chamber into which the cheese is introduced. The chamber is then compressed to clamp the cheese for maintaining the cheese in the configuration developed by the tower. The chamber is then introduced into a shipping and storage container, after which the chamber is expanded and withdrawn from the container to release the cheese. The cheese is then allowed to expand fully into the container by settling.
