    • ]]>     Artisanal Cheese has its own blog where different staff members write about cheese.  They discuss things like cheeses and cocktail pairings and addressing misconceptions about mold on cheese.  Needless to say, it’s fascinating!

    We particularly enjoyed the article on organic or genetically modified cheese. It discusses hormones, artificial flavors, homogenization and other unfortunate aspects of industrial cheese production.

    Here’s an excerpt:

    “No more smoked cheese in USA. All are produce with artificial flavor added, even those rewarded at the annual American Cheese Society competition.

    Most of the cheeses produce in North America are with“engineering” rennet to avoid usage of animal rennet (natural). Engineering means laboratory reproduction. Naturalist considers those as genetically modified products (GMO). Most good producers make cheese with animal rennet which has very bad press with vegetarian.”

    • ]]>     As a budding cheesemaker, you may want to check out the Dairy Science and Food Technology website.  It is a fascinating site for both students and professionals dedicated to science and technology within the dairy industry.

    If you’re still getting the hang of things like starter cultures and the FDM (fat in dry matter) of cheese, browse this site for some interesting facts as well as some articles the challenge the less science-y among us.  High school nightmares aside, there’s an interesting quiz where you test your knowledge of cheese technology.  Here’s a sample of what’ you’ll be in for.  You may want to spend some time on the site before attempting.

    7. Many types of cheesemaking can be described as processes for removing moisture from a rennet gel. This moisture removal process or whey expulsion is termed syneresis.

    • List the major factors that influence syneresis.

    23. What is the concentration of fat in

    (a) unseparated whey =

    and

    b) separated whey =

    from Cheddar manufacture?

    32. Explain how bitter off flavours sometimes develop in cheese.

    33. Outline strategies to avoid bitterness.

    (I love this  last one!)

    Test your knowledge of cheese.
