The rough outlines of cheesemaking
are probably familiar to every one.
Fresh milk is taken and curdied with
rennet. The curd Ia then broken up
and the liquid whey drawn off; the
breaking up of the curd, Its straining
and the subjection of it to pressure nre
processes repeated several times until
eventually the curd has become of the
necessary consistency and solidity. 1t
is then set aside, usually for some con.
siderable time, to ripen, and during
this time great changes are subtly TAX
ing place in its substance. so that the
curd, which at first was an uneatable
solid, becomes gradually transformed
into n palatable cheese.
Suitable external conditions. chief
among which is proper temperature,
are, Of course. necessary to bring this
ripening of the curd to n successful is
sue, but the real reason of the trans
formation Is the presence of myrads
of bacteria, which find In the curd a
luxurious dwelling place. where they
can live aud multiply. That in so liv-
Ing they must abstract foodstuifs from
the curd around and give out In turn
new substances Is merely the natural
course Of their life, but II makes all
the difference between curd and
