idea was 20 keep up throughout the heat
AZ which the rennet was applied, and b.
remove the whey from the curd as il
formed. The best Swiss cheese makers
heated the nilk 90 100 degrees applied
the rennet AZ that temperature, and

action Of the acid. Tactic acid la small
quantities, however, helped the action Of
the rennet, but he did not believe in the
use of murlatic, sulphuric or nitric acids.
The reason he recommended the removal
Of the whey AS fast as il formed. was that
in warm weather foreign ferments were
developed, producing undesirable tRints
