Milk Curds Bacterial Whey Cheese Making Pasterised Kill Natural

Front cheese-making
Back - milk pasterised (to kill most natural bacteria) and homogenised (to ensure fat droplets evenly distributed throughout milk)
- bacterial cultures added and kept until milk seperates into solid curds and liquid whey
- curds cut and cooked in whey and strained
- curds put into drums where they are pressed, theyre left to dry, mature and ripen (to inhibit bacterial activity)
- the bacteria feeds on lactose, chnging taste of milk, so milk goes off
