(this is different from the pasteurization you will do at home) Ultra-pasteurization Is the process where milk is heated, under pressure, to 167* for 15 seconds and, in so doing, kills off any harmful bacteria that may have been present in the milk. : Is heating the milk to a low temperature (145F) and short time (15 seconds), that has the lowest impact on natural bacteria and enzymes in milk and is commonly practiced in Europe Pasteurization If you can’t get raw milk then you have to understand the different treatments the milk that is available at the store goes through and which types work for cheese making and which don’t.

The remaining liquid, which contains only whey proteins, is the whey. The increased acidity causes the milk proteins (casein) to tangle into solid masses, or curds. CurdsĬurds are a dairy product obtained by curdling (coagulating) milk with rennet or an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar, and then draining off the liquid portion. Acid whey (also known as “sour whey”) is obtained during the making of acid types of cheese such as cottage cheese. Sweet whey is manufactured during the making of rennet types of hard cheese like cheddar or Swiss cheese. It is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein and has several commercial uses. Whey is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. Just ignore what is sold as “cheese cloth…” Whey or Milk Serum

You may find liquid rennet easier to measure accurately. You can purchase it in liquid or tablet form. It is used in cheese making to separate curds from whey.
