Mooz Formaggio Cheddar Cheese– Detailed Review
Before diving into the review, let’s learn a bit about Cheddar cheese.
Milk is cultured with starter bacteria. It acidifies the milk and curd is formed. The liquid (whey) is separated from the curd. This leftover solid is then heated and pressed in a process called ‘cheddaring’.
Naturally, Cheddar has a milky yellow appearance. The darker, orange cheddars are made with a natural dye called annatto.
As the brand mentions, their cheese is prepared with vegetarian microbial rennet. Such production is cost-effective and suitable for vegetarians too.
Did You Know?- Microbial rennet is produced by organisms like fungi/yeast.
Aroma- Young Cheddar would have a mild milky aroma (even sweet at times). Aged Cheddar emits a funky, bold, earthy aroma.
Taste and Texture- Young Cheddar is mild, semi-firm, creamy, and smooth. Due to the aging process, cheddar develops a tangier finish and some earthy flavors. The texture may change too, as certain hard salt-like crystals may form.
