Cheese has been with us for centuries. There
are mind-boggling varieties in different countries. Their textures, flavours
and styles depend on the source of the milk used as well the animal’s diet and
whether the milk has been pasteurized. The bacteria present and the fat content
also play a role in determining the final shape of the cheese.
Many kinds of herbs, spices and wood smoke
may be used to give added flavour and texture to the cheese. The yellow and red
colour (such as in Red Leicester) is produced by adding annatto. Other
ingredients like black pepper, garlic, chives and cranberries are also added to
cheese to create different varieties.
