Show detail Hide detail

Back in the 18th century the art of cheese making was brought to Canada. Today in the 20th century cheese making is a large industry. Cheddar cheese, the most popular, is made from whole milk. The first step in the Cheddar cheese making process is the addition of a special bacteria culture to the milk. This mixture is stirred and heated in large vats before adding orange coloring and a substance which will coagulate the milk to form a curd. When the curd does form it is cut into 1/4 inch cubes which are stirred and heated until they become firm. A liquid also results in this process giving the familiar "curds and whey". The whey is drained off and the firm curd is cut into large loaf-like portions. These are turned periodically making the curd become smooth and silky. The curd is cut once more, this time in thin strips, salt is added and it is pressed into' blocks or rounds. The cheese is kept in the forms under great pressure until it holds its' shape as a block or round. It is then removed from the press, waxed or packaged, and left to ripen. Cheddar cheese is stored for different periods of time resulting in the different classes of Cheddar cheese-mild, medium and old. <1mn 34s>
