About Sour-milk cheese

Sour-milk cheese is a cheese made by acidifying milk, separating the curd and, in some styles, allowing it to ripen. A version made from skimmed milk can be relatively lean, but the name covers cheeses with differing moisture, fat content, ageing and aroma.

The curd may be pressed, shaped or matured, producing textures that range from soft and moist to firm and crumbly. Sour-milk cheese is eaten on its own or used in cooking, depending on style. The term does not identify one standardized cheese, so specific composition and flavour vary.
