What is Good? How Cheese is Made

Some videos found all about making cheese and the processes involved. 

This first video is pretty boring, but very informative about how delicious cheese is made, and now I'm hungry. 


The second video is a little less boring because it was actually shown on an episode of Sesame Street. Try and ignore the fact that the very lovely, hairy man making a food product to be sold to the public is forgoing all rules about food hygiene in the video. 




What I do now know from watching these videos is that cheese is made from milk (who knew!) and it gets mixed with rennet so that curds can form. Then it turns into curds and whey, like in the nursery rhyme, and the curds make the cheese and the whey liquid gets rinsed off. The curds get kneaded and pressed into moulds, which get pressed down even further to make pretty round cheeses that then get aged for a long time so they can mature into a lovely food product. This explains how some cheese is made, but the process for some other cheeses will be different, such as for brie.

Which is why I'm treating you to another video! (You're welcome)
