奶酪可以分為上百種，乳源(包括動(dòng)物的進(jìn)食)，是否使用巴式消毒法，乳脂含量，細(xì)菌和霉，處理方法和發(fā)酵決定了他們的形狀，口感，及味道。奶酪可以用香草，香料，或者煙熏來調(diào)味。奶酪中的黃色和紅色，例如紅萊斯特奶酪，是由于添加了胭脂樹。

Cheese can be divided into hundreds of varieties, milk source (including animal feeding), whether pasteurization is used, milk fat content, bacteria and mold, processing method and fermentation determine their shape, taste, and taste.

A few cheeses solidify by adding vinegar, lemon juice, or other acids, while most cheeses are slightly acidified by bacteria, turning lactose into lactic acid, and then adding rennet to make it completely solidified.
