How milk turns into cheese

05-18-2018


Today’s Video of the Day comes from the American Chemical Society’s Reactions series and features a look at the process of how milk becomes cheese.

The process of cheesemaking uses microbes, enzymes, and salt to make the very-perishable but very-nutritious milk last longer.

Experts Richard Sutton and Christy Caye of St James Cheese Company in New Orleans explain how the secret to making good cheese is removing the water but keeping all of the other ingredients, which include protein, fat, vitamins and minerals.
