Serum begins to separate - a clear yellowish liquid, a by-product of production. At the final stage, the curd monolith is cut with strings into small pieces in order to increase the surface area and facilitate the outflow of whey. Next, the curd grain is squeezed and cooled. At the end of the technological process, the curd is packaged.
Cuajada is a dairy product traditionally made from sheep's milk, but now it is more often made industrially from cow's milk.It is popular in the northern regions of Spain (Asturias, Cantabria, Basque Country, Navarre, Aragon, Castile and Leon, and La Rioja).
This makes the milk coagulate or curdle, separating the milk solids (curds) from the liquid whey. [4] Sweet whey is the byproduct of rennet-coagulated cheese, and acid whey (also called sour whey) is the byproduct of acid-coagulated cheese. [5] Sweet whey has a pH greater than or equal to 5.6; acid whey has a pH less than or equal to 5.1. [6]
This process repeats until all the whey is drained and the curds form a solid chunk of cheese. That cheese block is then cut into standard cheese curd shapes using a cheese mill and is salted. Voilà!

In Germany, quark and cottage cheese are considered different types of fresh cheese and quark is often not considered cheese at all, while in Eastern Europe cottage cheese is usually viewed as a type of quark (e.g. the Ukrainian word " сир " syr is a ...
The Cheddar curds and whey are often transferred from the cheese vat to a cooling table which contains screens that allow the whey to drain, but which trap the curd. The curd is cut using long, blunt knives and 'blocked' (stacked, cut and turned) by the cheesemaker to promote the release of cheese whey in a process known as 'cheddaring'.

A curd knife is used to cut milk curd into small cubes A pan of curdled milk. In curdling, the pH of the milk decreases and becomes more acidic. [1] Independently floating casein molecules attract one another, forming "curdles" that float in a translucent whey. [1]
