FBPCHE5007 — Produce acid and heat coagulated artisan cheese

1 Prepare for cheese making

• 1.1Identify characteristics, make parameters and production goals of type of acid and heat coagulated cheese to be produced
• 1.2Identify hazards and manage risks associated with producing cheese of that type
• 1.3Prepare make and ripening sheet for the cheese to be made, showing reference parameters for that cheese type, and record all actual make and ripening parameters on the sheet as they occur
• 1.4Prepare milk and starter culture using good hygiene practice (GHP)
• 1.5Ensure all surfaces meet cleanliness and sanitisation requirements
• 1.6Manage GHP and good manufacturing practice (GMP) throughout cheese making process
• 1.7Record cheese production information according to workplace procedures

2 Prepare milk or milk products

• 2.1Sample raw or pre-pasteurised milk and analyse composition
• 2.2Confirm desired outcome of the cheese making process, based on milk composition and production goals
• 2.3Standardise milk or modify make process for consistent outcome, as required

3 Promote coagulation of curds and whey

• 3.1Heat the milk to temperature required for specific cheese type
• 3.2Acidify the hot liquid to coagulate whey proteins according to cheese type
• 3.3Hold the curd in the curd and whey mixture after coagulation
• 3.4Control the texture of the cheese by regulating pH and protein
• 3.5Maintain a log of pH and temperature to monitor yield
• 3.6Control cheese flavour through choice of ingredients, such as whey, milk, cream, acidulant and salt according to cheese type

4 Monitor and adjust cheese processing

• 4.1Drain whey from curd to achieve desired texture
• 4.2Apply salting treatments for required outcome and ensure adverse salt profile effects are minimised in the finished product
• 4.3Cool and dry cheeses before packing
• 4.4Maintain GHP during cooling to minimise contamination with microbial contaminants

5 Conduct housekeeping activities

• 5.1Clean equipment and work area in line with workplace procedures
• 5.2Conduct routine maintenance activities
• 5.3Dispose of waste in line with regulatory requirements

What does an assessment tool for FBPCHE5007 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for FBPCHE5007 needs to address all 48 unit components: 5 elements with 23 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 20 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for FBPCHE5007?

Auditori pulls the current release of FBPCHE5007 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for FBPCHE5007 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing FBPCHE5007 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of FBPCHE5007, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
