  • The Art of Cheesemaking
    The Art of Cheesemaking What was Little Miss Muffett doing while she sat on her tuffet? She was eating cheese, of course: curds and whey! Ever wonder how natural cheese gets produced? Cheesemaking is a process at once infinitely complex and delightfully simple. Here are the steps. Milk: Quality cheese begins as quality milk. In fact, cheese is why they’re also known as grana-style). To make softer 1 is sometimes referred to as milk’s leap toward immortality. cheeses, such as Mozzarella and Ricotta the curds are cut into Before the cheesemaking process can begin, fluid milk is larger pieces and then very gently maneuvered. tested for purity and quality.

  • Cheese Making Sources: One-Hour Cheese by Claudia Lucero; Edgewood Creamery Website; Science.Howstuffworks.Com;
    The Basic Science (It’s Magic!) Behind Cheese Making Sources: One-Hour Cheese by Claudia Lucero; Edgewood Creamery website; Science.HowStuffWorks.Com; Instructional video available on Driftwood Public Library’s new YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY39X-eSLLI&t=144s “Cheesemaking is the controlled process of removing water from milk. This process concentrates the milk’s protein, fat and other nutrients and increases its shelf life. Cheesemaking is one of the earliest examples of biotechnology.” – Edgewood Creamery Like sourdough bread, making cheese is one of the earliest forms of microbiology. The transformation of milk into cheese is one of the most extraordinary of all human discoveries. No one knows exactly when, but it is believed to have happened at about the same time as the domestication of animals such as goats in the fertile crescent region of the Middle East, around 6,000-7,000BC. It is unknown when the first cheese was made, but the legend goes that a nomad was carrying milk in a pouch made of a calf’s stomach lining. Over time (and at the right temperature) the milk fermented. Not wanting to waste the chunky milk, the nomad tried it and liked it. This legend about the first cheese is not unlike that of the first sourdough leavened bread. The components of Cheese: Milk: Made up of water, fats, proteins, bacteria, lactose (a sugar), minerals and more. Unpasteurized milk also contains the enzyme lactase, which helps you digest milk. Salt: Besides adding flavor, “salt is also a great preservative and, under the right conditions, can help turn a previously highly perishable substance (milk) into a stable cheese that doesn’t require regular refrigeration.” Note: When making one-hour cheese, we only use salt for flavor and to control the amount of whey we leave in the curds for texture.

The cheesemaking process also reduces the moisture content—milk Part 1: Establishing and Maintaining a Starter typically has a moisture content of about 87% whereas Culture Program (last issue) Cheddar has a moisture content of about 38%. Part 2: Measuring and Controlling Acidity and Moisture During the Cheesemaking Process Why Measure Acidity and Moisture? “All cheesemakers should be monitoring acidity and moisture because they drive how the cheese is going to turn out,” explains Andy Johnson, outreach specialist/ assistant coordinator, CDR Cheese Industry and Applications group. Dean Sommer, CDR cheese and food technologist, agrees, “Controlling acidity and moisture content— those are two of the really big keys to successful cheesemaking.

  • CHEESE and WHEY: the Outcome of Milk Curdling
    foods Editorial CHEESE and WHEY: The Outcome of Milk Curdling Golfo Moatsou * and Ekaterini Moschopoulou Laboratory of Dairy Research, Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, Iera Odos 75, 11855 Athens, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-210-529-4630 The present Special Issue is dedicated to both products of the cheesemaking process, that is cheese and whey. Cheese is an excellent and complex food matrix that preserves in concentrated form valuable milk constituents, such as proteins, minerals, vitamins, and biofunctional lipids. The formation of cheese mass requires the removal of whey, i.e., water and soluble milk substances—proteins, minerals, lactose, and vitamins—. According to Fox and McSweeney [1], cheese is the most diverse group of dairy products manufactured from a few kinds of milk by means of a protocol that is more or less common in respect to the first 24 h of manufacture. They suggest that cheese is the most interesting and challenging dairy product due to an inherent instability that results from a series of biochemical changes. Whey is the valuable byproduct derived from the cheesemaking process. Lactose and whey proteins are the main compounds of whey and the main reasons for its valorization, through the production of whey cheeses, functional/nutritional whey proteins concentrate, bioactive peptides, and oligosaccharides [2,3]. In the present article collection, two publications for the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese are included. Considering the demanding cheese making conditions and the long-term ripening of this cheese variety, relevant studies are of particular importance. Franceschi et al. [4] designed a two-year study in various cheese factories to assess the performance Citation: Moatsou, G.; of milk with high somatic cell count (SCC), i.e., from 400,000 to 1,000,000, when it is used Moschopoulou, E.

  • Best Practices Guide for Cheesemakers Published February 15, 2017
    The American Cheese Society’s Best Practices Guide for Cheesemakers Published February 15, 2017 Copyright © 2016, 2017 American Cheese Society First Edition, 2016 Reprinted with revisions, 2017 All figures in this Guide and documents in the Appendix have been reprinted with permission from the copyright holders. Best Practices Guide for Cheesemakers Introduction In 2016, the American Cheese Society (ACS) released its Best Practices Guide for Cheesemakers (Guide). Its completion was a key strategic goal of the Board of Directors, and the central task with which the Regulatory & Academic Committee had been charged. ACS members requested such a resource, and by way of response, this Guide was created to encompass currently accepted best practices for cheesemaking. This second edition of the Guide includes updates based on changing regulations, incorporates direct feedback and clarification from reviewers at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and provides more current resources and templates where available. This Guide provides an easy reference for busy cheesemakers—especially small- to mid-size producers—one which can be readily accessed. Regulatory agencies and academics provide information in great detail, but it is often buried within volumes of text. This Guide gleans the key requirements, suggestions, and practices from that vast sea of information, and attempts to condense them into a more easily digestible format written in more accessible language. I hope you will find that the information provided in this Guide is useful and answers some of your key questions. Please keep in mind that this is not a static document. The Guide will continually grow and change based on feedback from members, academics, regulators, and others.

  • Home Cheesemaking
    Home Cheesemaking Making cheese at home is fun. Proper preparation and attention to sanitation will make good tasting cheese that is safe for the whole family to enjoy. Choosing a Cheese Recipe Home cheese making can be as simple as adding vinegar to warm milk to make ricotta for tonight's lasagna or as complicated as waiting months for a mold-ripened cheese to be ready to eat. For the best success, start with simpler recipes until you are familiar with the basic principles of cheese making. Recipes are found in cheese books, supplier websites, and other internet sites. There is no single recipe for making a cheese, so look around and compare recipes. Milk for Cheese Making Fresh milk with good flavor makes the best tasting cheese. For the home cheesemaker it is easiest to obtain pasteurized milk from the grocery store. This milk is usually homogenized. Pasteurization is a heat process that destroys pathogens (bacteria that cause human disease) that may be found in raw milk. Regular pasteurized milk is okay to use for cheesemaking, but ultra-pasteurized and ultra-high pasteurized (UHT) milk have higher heat treatments that interfere with the ability of the proteins to coagulate into curds, so these milks should not be used for making cheese. Homogenization is a physical process that makes milk fat globules more uniform in size so they stay evenly dispersed in milk. Most home cheesemaking recipes use homogenized milk, and this is may result in a softer curd. Commercial cheesemakers use unhomogenized milk. Some home recipes call for the use of pasteurized skim milk and cream to mimic unhomogenized milk.
