Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 My understanding is that there arre now two ways to make cheese. One is the old fashioned way where the milk is turned into curd and the block of cheese is matured for a time. The other way is the " modern " way which uses enzymes or something and you can get a 'cheese' in about two or three days. The old fashioned matured cheeses are called matured and the instant cheeses are called natural. I find that the instant cheeses have a melt in the mouth sameness. We have a dairy near us that makes the old fashioned matured cheeses and even their fresh cheddar squeaks on the teeth and has a firm texture. I always look for the words 'matured' on cheeses and same of them even say for how long it was matured. LINDA almost SCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Wow thanks! Hubby and I have been discussing how cheese is so much softer than it used to be and this would explain it. This new cheese does not slice well with a wire cheese slicer nor grate well. He keeps looking for hard cheese and we cannot find it. I'm thinking I'd have to go to a health food store to find this " mature " cheese as all the cheese at the grocery store seemed soft. But at least now we know what to look for no the label.
