  • 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.

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.

  • Fromages De Chèvre La Corne D’Abondance
    LE LIVRE BLANC DES FROMAGES DE CHÈVRE LA CORNE D’ABONDANCE AVRIL 2018 ÉDITORIAL LES RICHESSES DE LA VACHE DU PAUVRE La chèvre fut longtemps considérée comme la vache du pauvre. Parce qu’elle se satisfait de terres arides, la chèvre et les fromages qui sont issus de son lait se sont implantés dans des territoires délaissés par les bovins. Olivier de Serres vantait les mérites des chèvres parce que « de leur lait communément sortent de bons fromages ; leurs chairs sont bonnes à manger, leurs peaux utiles et leur fumier serviable ». Difficile de parler du fromage de chèvre de manière générale tant les possibilités et les différences – de forme, de pâte, d’affinage et de goût – sont nombreuses. Certains prétendent même que la France est le pays des 1001 fromages de chèvre. Ce qui est sûr, c’est que quatorze d’entre eux possèdent une AOP. Ce livre blanc ne sera donc pas exhaustif, il s’attardera cependant sur quelques fromages remarquables comme le rocamadour ou le banon et tentera de démontrer l’incroyable richesse des fromages de chèvre. Laurent Seminel Le livre blanc des fromages de chèvre 3 LE TÉMOIGNAGE DE FRÉDÉRIC KAISER* « J’ai effectué mes stages d’école hôtelière en Dordogne et je travail- lais alors beaucoup le rocamadour ainsi que son alter ego le cabécou. Un autre moment de ma vie professionnelle est lié au fromage de chèvre. En effet, avant de venir à Paris, j’ai travaillé huit ans sur la Côte-d’Azur. Là, nous avions la chance de proposer régulièrement du banon. C’est un fromage que j’adore pour son aspect intrigant mais surtout pour le plaisir intense qu’il procure à la dégustation.
