About Sauermolke

Sauermolke is acidic whey, the liquid left after milk has been coagulated during cheese or other cultured-dairy production. It is not the same as sweet whey, which comes from a different coagulation process.

It is generally a thin, pale liquid with a tart, dairy-like taste. It may be used as a beverage ingredient or in food preparation, and is also sold concentrated or dried. Nutrition differs between fresh liquid and concentrated or powdered forms.
