Cheese making
process
• Once we have the fermented milk, the rennet or coagulation is
Cheese Coagulation carried out. This step consists of adding lactic ferments or vegetable
or animal coagulants. It is at this time when the cheese goes from
being liquid to being solid or semi-solid. This creates a kind of curd.
Serum cutting and
extraction
• Once the curd has the perfect texture, we
make the cut. Knives called "liras" are used
and depending on the cut that is made and
the "grains" that are generated, one cheese
or another will be made. The whey is then
drained and the pieces are placed in a mold
that is turned over so that the whey drains
completely. This will determine what type of
cheese we will get.
Cheese Pressing
Types of milk • Whole cow's milk is very high in fat, so it is common to use skimmed or semi-
skimmed milk in order to reduce the fat content. However, fat is one of the
used
elements that most influences the flavor of cheese, and as a general rule, using
skimmed milk is synonymous with loss of flavor.
• In Mediterranean areas, where cows are not abundant, it is more common to
use sheep's or goat's milk, which gives a point of acidity to the cheese. Castilian
cheese, manchego, roquefort, or feta are made from sheep's milk.
• It is also possible to mix different kinds of milk, as in the case of Cabrales
cheese, in which a mixture of cow, sheep and goat milk is used.
• The milk of many other mammals is also used, such as buffalo milk in the
original mozzarella (today cow's milk is also used), but it is something much
more difficult to find.
