It's pasteurised to kill any harmful micro-organisms, then homogenised by squeezing it through tiny holes to make sure all the fat is evenly distributed. The milk is then cooled before going to the next stage. The milk needs to have a certain level of acidity to help stop bacteria growing in the finished cheese, so it's gently warmed before a starter culture is added to sour the milk.
Now it's time to ferment it. Another starter culture is added to act on the natural sugar lactose that is present in the milk and turn it into an acid. As the amount of this lactic acid slowly increases, the milk gradually curdles to form a soft curd consistency. In the production of some cheese like Philadelphia, the soft curd is cut to separate the whey from the curds. The cheese is then also heated or 'scalded' to develop the correct texture. At this stage the basic soft cheese-making process is complete.
Other ingredients may be added depending upon the cheese such as:- Salt - to add flavour to the cheese.
Stabilisers - to provide firmness to the cheese and prevent 'wheying off' the separation of the whey. Flavour - Chives, Garlic and Herbs or Basil may be added to the prepared cheese before packing. To enjoy Philadelphia at its best, consume within 1 week of opening.
