Cheesemakers today still use the same techniques to make cheese that have been used for hundreds of years. It is now understood that cheese-making is basically a chemical reaction. By changing the environment of this reaction--increasing or decreasing temperature, removing more or less whey, adding salt, aging the cheese under different conditions, etc.--the cheesemaker controls the texture, aroma and taste of the cheese. The specific conditions we've developed at Bellwether Farms are responsible for our unique, great-tasting cheeses.
