Cutting Cheese Cubes With The 5-AF - FoodTools

The 5-AF wire slicing machine portions a variety of dairy products from wheels into wedges or blocks into smaller pieces. This video tutorial shows the step-by-step process of how to cut cheese cubes with the 5-AF using a block of Fontina cheese.
Fontina is a semisoft cheese with mild to medium sharp flavor and is made from cow’s milk. The soft texture makes Fontina a great product to slice with the 5-AF using a wire harp. In order to get perfectly portioned cubes from a single direction slicing machine the block of cheese needs to be cut and rotated in three different cycles.
Cheese cube cut patterns are determined by the wire harp and can range from large blocks for ingredient reduction down to bite sized cubes, although the smallest cube size is dependent on the type of cheese, block texture, and temperature. Harder cheeses will require larger cut patterns and softer products can be sliced with tighter grids. Before ordering a 5-AF or custom designed wire harp it’s best to talk with one of our portioning professionals about your unique dairy products and portion sizes.
