Cheese is a dairy product produced in a range 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, milk is usually acidified and either the enzymes of 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.
