Cheese made from raw milk using native lactic acid bacteria and natural starters, followed by controlled heating, cutting, pressing, and aging.
Origin: Indigenous European peoples (Ancient) — Europe
See full technique reference →The native LAB ferment lactose to lactic acid, lowering pH to 4.3–4.5 and inducing casein micelle coagulation. Subsequent heating at 38–42 °C promotes protein denaturation and curd firming, while aging at 10–12 °C and high humidity drives proteolysis and lipolysis, generating peptides and free fatty acids that develop flavor.
Primary Reaction
Lactose → lactic acid (acidification) and casein coagulation
