cheese with holes????

Question

how is it made, someone told me mice eat it, also how do they make blue cheese is it through putting a wire in and waiting for it to go rusty or what thankyo.

Answer 1

Don't worry, mice do not eat it, although I don't really know how it is made, they are just air bubbles. Blue cheese is a mouldy cheese, but special mould which is good to eat if you like blue cheese. Neither will kill you or make you sick, if you like flavoursome cheese give the blue a try. Swiss cheese, with the holes in it, is pretty good in sandwiches.

Answer 2

Blue Cheese is a general classification of cow's milk, sheep's milk, or goat's milk cheeses that has had Penicillium cultures added so that the final product is spotted or veined throughout with blue or blue-green mold. Some blue cheeses are injected with spores before the curds form and others have spores mixed in with the curds after they form. Blue cheeses are typically aged in a temperature-controlled environment such as a cave.

Three types of bacteria are used in the production of Emmental cheese: Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus (L. helveticus or L. bulgaricus), and Propionibacter (P. freudenreichii or P. shermani). In a late stage of cheese production, the Propionibacter consumes the lactic acid excreted by the other bacteria, and releases carbon dioxide gas, which slowly forms the bubbles that develop the eyes. Swiss cheese without eyes is known as "blind."

In general, the larger the eyes in a Swiss cheese, the more pronounced its flavor; This is because the same conditions that lead to large eyes - longer ageing or higher temperatures - also give the acting bacteria and enzymes more time to produce flavor.

Baby Swiss is another related cheese, often found in the US. Made by substituting water for the milk's whey to slow bacterial action, baby Swiss cheese has smaller holes and a milder flavor. Baby Swiss is often made from whole milk.

Lacy Swiss is a further variety of US small hole Swiss cheese made with low fat milk. Lorraine Swiss is an example of this style.

Answer 3

The holes are just bubbles of air trapped in the process. Most famous is probably Emmental. Just to do with the preparation. For the blue cheeses, they add rennet (now mainly from vegetarian origin) to grow the blue (mould or penicillin) which is a fungi, amongst the most famous : gorgonzola, roquefort....

Answer 4

that is simply by how those cheeses are processed. as an occasion, Swiss cheese has holes simply by launch of carbon dioxide with the aid of the micro organism Propionibacter, which starts off to bubble and form holes.

Answer 5

Cheese with holes I believe is made with a gas and the blue is penicillin injected through a fine needle and allowed to grow. Do not worry, it is edible. Do not know where you heard the wire thing. Someone was pulling your leg!!!

Answer 6

The holes are produced by the fermenting process.

Blue cheese is enhanced by the introduction of copper into the process. All perfectly safe.

My favourite is Cashel blue a milder type blue cheese. Not so salty.

Just going to get some now with some crusty bread, sweet pickle and a bottle of Badgers Golden Glory. Ahhhhhhhhh...................

Answer 7

NO NO
air bubbles... the walls are smooth,,, a mouse would scratch and shred the hole..
LOOK before making a rumor.
Yes I heard the copper wire thing,
but copper is also a poison
and the Blue (Green) is a mold
I just don't remember

Answer 8

blue cheese is made like ho they make cheese and the ripend in a certain climate.....to get the mold

the same thing counts for the cheese with holes there must be more air inside the cheese that causes the holes............if there were mice eating it they sertainly leave nice smooth holes without teeth marks.....lol

Answer 9

The holes in Swiss cheeses are caused by gas bubbles.

Answer 10

Propionibacter consumes the lactic acid excreted by the other bacteria, and releases carbon dioxide gas, which slowly forms the bubbles that develop the eyes
