Armat Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Right now I am studying about enzymes which are responsible of turning the milk into cheese. Streptococci, lactobacilli and rennet is added to the milk to make cheese the rennet is taken from the forth stomach of the animal which the milk is derived. If you are lactose intolerant (I am) then need not to worry you can eat cheese safely since these enzymes convert lactose to lactic acid. In short cheese is predigested form of food since much of the work is done by the healthy bacteria. If you can find try to eat raw milk cheese so as to really appreciate great cheese. Sheep milk is the richest hence is more nutritious. Goat’s milk is closest to human milk since it has no beta-carotene therefore it is for most part very white. And finally cow. Some great cheeses to try. Roaring Forties-Australia-cow Gouda-aged at least five years. This cheese will knock your sucks off. Camembert-Normandy-cow Roquefort-France the king of cheese 100% sheep Ossau-Iratry-France-sheep Mistura mix of sheep and goat-portugal Humboldt Fog-cypress Grove, A-aged goat(yes you can age goat) Vacherin Mont d’Or-raw milk France $35-50 lb.amazing cheese. Epoisse de Bourgogne-France-Napaleon’s favorite. Anyway guys if you have any question on cheese I will gladly answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 i'm not sure if i'm lactose intolerant.. hmm, i can't drink milk, but i can eat almost any other dairy product, but not too much... is that considered a degree of lactose intolerance or?

Armat Posted January 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Dan ,other dairy products are broken down by enzymes such as yogurt,cottage cheese, cream cheese.If you can't drink milk then you are lactose intolarant like me.The enzymes convert the lactose to lactic acid in cheese hence it is safe and easy to digest.

angel4hope Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 sad to say-- i love cheese but usually cant eat it because im allergic to milk and other products containing it--i sometimes eat it but when i do i get hives and become really sick----so i rarely eat cheese, no butter, never drink milk, cant eat yogurt/sour cream....but come on who can resist ice cream...? but usually i dont eat it if it has any milk products--not that im lactose intolerant-but im actualy alergic to anything with milk....so i try to get my calcium out of soymilk-but i think im also allergic to that too-recently....oh well cant do anything about it....
