Mastering salinity for consistent cheese quality

Controlling salinity (salt concentration) and liquid density is an essential step in several stages of cheesemaking, particularly when working with brining solutions or brined products. The measuring instruments in this category allow cheesemakers to prepare, monitor, and adjust brine baths and other solutions, ensuring consistent quality and results that meet your production standards.

What is a densimeter?

A densimeter, also known as a hydrometer, is an instrument used to measure the density of a liquid, meaning its mass per unit volume relative to water.

Hydrometer 0–26.5% (by weight)

Indicates density in salt solutions as a percentage by weight.

Hydrometer 0–100% (salt saturation)

Indicates whether a solution is saturated with salt, and to what extent,ideal for brining applications.

Advantages

Accurately measuring brine salinity helps prevent over- or under-salting, which can negatively impact cheese maturation and the final sensory profile.
