Generally, cheesemaking starts with acidification. This is the lowering of the pH (increasing acid content) of the milk, making it more acidic. Classically, this process is performed by bacteria. Bacteria feed on the lactose in milk and produce lactic acid as a waste product. . . . → Read More: Wiki: Acidfication

pH is a measurement of acidity – alkalinity with 7 being neutral. Generally the early stages of cheese making require acidification of the milk so that it coagulates resulting is removal of whey. Thus knowing the pH of the milk when start and when this stage is complete is important for obtaining a better resultant cheese. . . . → Read More: Wiki: pH Meters

Making cheese is surprisingly often the easiest part of making aged cheeses. For making aged cheeses there is often pressing and affinage, the French word for the controlled aging of the cheese. This aging needs to be in temperature and humidity levels similar to an underground cave, for periods of weeks to years depending how long you can or want to wait. Thus the term cheese cave. . . . → Read More: Wiki: Cheese Cave Requirements
Historically Sour Cream has been made by letting cow’s milk cream sour naturally by leaving it at room temperature to enable the natural bacteria in it to multiply and thicken the cream and create the tangy flavor. This is not feasible with store bought pasteurized cream as the natural bacteria count in the cream is significantly lower. . . . → Read More: Wiki: Heavy Sour Cream Making Recipe

Ricotta is made from re-cooked whey and the word “ricotta” means “re-cooked” in Italian. It forms when proteins from the whey separate, rise and coagulate. There are three distinct varieties of Ricotta: Ricotta Salata Moliterna (ewe’s milk whey), Ricotta Piemontese (cow’s milk whey + 10% milk) and Ricotta Romana (a byproduct of Romano cheese production). . . . → Read More: Wiki: Whey Ricotta Cheese Making Recipe
