A cheese with more moisture will also have more loosely packed milk proteins, which separate more easily when heated. High acidity, i. Low acidity, i. Heating the milk and adding food grade citric acid to the milk help reduce the pH level to between 5.
Pressing takes between three and 12 hours, depending on the desired size of the cheese shape. The final step is curing, which is specific to the type and style of the resulting cheese. Curing is when cheeses are aged. It creates the fully developed taste and texture of the cheese.
