  2. Step 1: Treat the Milk Right • Milk from cows is heated to kill the bad germs • Then the milk is cooled • After the cooling, good bacteria areadded to the milk • This is where cheese gets its flavor

  3. Step 2: Forming the Curd • An enzyme called rennet is added • This makes the milk curd, which is solid • The cheese isleft alone for 30 minutes • Balls of cheese are cut into very small pieces and heated again to 100°F

  4. Step 3: Drain the Liquid • There is liquid still mixed in with the cheese that must be drained • After the liquid is squeezed out, only large solid pieces of cheese are left • The cheese is cut again and then the pieces are piled on top of each other

  5. Step 4: Add Salt • Salt is then sprinkled on the cheese • The salt and cheese are mixed together • This also helps the cheese get its flavor

  6. Step 5: Making the Blocks • The cheese is placed in big machines that shape the cheese into blocks • Cheese is kept in huge refrigerators until it is ready to be eaten • This could mean months to years before anyone eats it

  7. Step 6: Your Plate • When the cheese is ready, it is sent to stores for you to buy • Enjoy cheese on sandwiches, pasta, and many other of your favorite foods! • Remember cheese is in the dairy food group and has calcium in it that keeps your bones and teeth strong!
