cheese

Cheese is a dairy product, derived from the milk. Rennet is added causing casein to coagulate and the solids collected to be pressed into the finished cheese
Cheese is a dairy product, derived from milk and produced in wide ranges of flavors, textures and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. During production, the milk is usually acidified and the enzymes of either rennet or bacterial enzymes with similar activity are added to cause the casein to coagulate. The solid curds are then separated from the liquid whey and pressed into finished cheese. Some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout. Over a thousand types of cheese exist. Their styles, textures and flavours depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet), whether they have been pasteurised, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and how long they have been aged for. Vegetarian alternatives to rennet are available; most are produced by fermentation of the fungus Mucor miehei, but others have been extracted from various species of the Cynara thistle family.

    Recipe Chilli-Cheese Loaf-Cake

    I call this a loaf-cake because its a bit like a cross between bread and a heavy cake. It goes well with salad for a nice lunch but its tasty enough to eat on its own (especially toasted).

    Recipe Cheese & Jalapeño Omelette with Tomato Salsa

    Strong cheddar and melty mild mozzarella with pickled hot jalapeño peppers make up this spicy omelette filling. The tomato salsa adds a fresh tangy contrast. I used chives and fresh oregano in the salsa as its what I had to hand, but coriander leaves would be good (probably better!). I usually...

    Recipe Fat-Free Dill Paneer Cheese

    In this recipe, the cheese was squeezed of moisture (step 5) very easily (in less than a minute). I think this is because I used fat-free milk. I suspect whole milk would have caused the cheese to retain more moisture. I have seen recipies (all using whole milk) where the cheese holds its shape...
