why does cheese smell like cheese?

Answer 1

Different types of microorganisms make changes to the texture (hardness), appearance, flavor and, of course, the smell of cheese. By breaking down different chemicals in the curd, like the fat and protein, different types of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeasts and molds, make new chemicals that change the aroma (hey, another word for smell!) and flavor of cheese.

Answer 2

Cheese, wine and bread. We must thank for this three marvelous products to bacteria. The process of turning liquid milk into solid cheese is due to the work of thousands of bacteria drinking liquids and leaving only milk's solid materials. Actually, you could say that cheese is what these bacterias dispose. Same process happens on four feet, the odor you smell comes form other kind of bacteria's... sheat. And that's why cheese smells like cheese.

Hope it helps.
