Bacteria acidify the milk and play a role in defining the texture and flavor of most cheeses. Some cheeses also feature molds, either on the outer rind or throughout.

You got it it is all of that. The variation in taste is all depend on the process and the country where it was originated. I love Blue Cheese, Edam, Brie, Gorgonzola, and Stilton serve with water crackers with a glass of Chianti, an Italian Red wine. Try it, you will be in heaven

rotten and solidified? um, no.
Cheese does begin with milk to which carefully measured and cultured beneficial bacteria are added under certain temps for certain time periods. This precise, careful scientific process makes cheese.

i believe that cheese is made with the curd off the top of milk. It may be what they call "blink" milk but man it sure does taste good between two pieces of buttered bread

"Rotten" is kinda harsh. More like "aged".
