CHAPTER VII CHEESE CHEESE is made from milk or cream by coagulating the casein with rennet or lactic acid. Ripening ferments, seasonings, and coloring matter may be added. Cheese is divided into two main types : the hard cheeses such as Cheddar, Edam, Swiss, Parmesan, and Roquefort ; and the soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, Limburg, Neufchatel, Gorgonzola, and Stilton. Much of the larger part of the cheese made in this country is of the type of the Cheddar cheese and is known as American Cheddar cheese. The process of making Cheddar cheese is divided into several distinct steps as follows: (i) inspection of milk, (2) ripening of milk, (3) addition of color, (4) coagulating the milk, (5) cutting the curd, (6) stirring and heating the curd, (7) removing whey, (8) cheddaring the curd, (9) milling the curd, (10) salting and pressing, (n) ripening or curing the cheese. For full description of these steps see Sherman's Food Products, pages 89-94. The different varieties of whole milk cheese do not differ greatly from an average composition of about one third water, one third fat, and one fourth protein (the small remainder being mainly salt). The fat is in a finely divided state and is chem- ically the same as butter fat. The protein is more or less digested casein (some albumin). The ripening process changes the proteins not only to soluble proteins, but to proteoses, peptones, amino acids, and ammonia. The ash is high in cal- cium, phosphorus, sulphur, and iron and sodium and chlorine from the salting. Cheese is a very concentrated food, so should 95 96 LABORATORY MANUAL OF FOODS AND COOKERY
