Dutch term or phrase: Uitpekelen
Not much context but a PP slide of factory cheese in a basin of water. The previous slide was describes as: Automatische inpekelen (pickled) and the following slide is described as: Automatische uitpekelen. I suppose it means lowering the pickling content (salt etc. by immersing the cheese in water), but what is the English term?

removal from salt solution


Explanation:
just a guess. Doesn't seem to be part of the actual cheese-making process according to this job description:

Medewerker Natrijpingscel in Schoonrewoerd

Baaninformatie

Taken:
Het uitpekelen, transporteren, banderolleren, schmieren en plastificeren en afleveren van de kaas.

Not sure if 'pickling ' is the right term in cheesemaking. Find more hits for 'salt solution':

Salting (the curds or cheese may be salted by adding salt or immersing the cheese in a salt solution, ie a brine)

agree  writeaway: saw those refs too-it's simply hoisting the cheese out of the 'pekel'.

agree  Joost Simons: Looks like that's what it means, yes. Instead of 'salt solution', 'salt bath' is also used a lot.

neutral  writeaway: is cheese pickled? pekel is a salt brine solution. none of your refs apply to context/oops-didn't notice the rating so will go back to neutral. but cheese isn't pickled afaik.
6 mins
  -> I don't see cheese among the list but you can pickle in brine, wasn't totally convinced either hence the "3" rating
