As I was eating cheese today, I wondered how cheese is made and what is the difference is in the chemically of soft cheese vs hard cheese. After researching a little, what I read was a little traumatizing… Let’s just say that you don’t want to know where the cheese enzyme is from…
Interestingly, the difference between soft cheese and hard cheese is that soft cheese is made by adding acid to milk in order to coagulate the solution, whereas hard cheese is made by adding an enzyme. By changing the pH of the system, we can make delicious cheese! Ah, science.
