Biotechnology is the use of micro-organism to make things that people want. It involves
ways of making and preserving foods and making alcoholic drinks. Traditional applications of
biotechnology involves brewing/cooking beers, making wines, making bread, making
yoghurt, and making cheese.

Cheese making depends on the reactions of bacteria with milk changing the texture and
taste, and also preserving the milk. Cheese making is very successful in reserving milk, and
some cheeses can survive for years without decay. Around 900 different types of cheese are
made around the world, but the basis of the production method is the same for them all.

Just as in yoghurt making, you add a starter culture of bacteria to warm milk. The
difference is in the type of bacteria added. The bacteria in cheese making also convert
lactose to lactic acid, but they make much more lactic acid. As a result, the solid part (curds)
is much more solid than yogurt. Enzymes are also added to increase the separation of the
milk. These often come from the stomachs of calves or other young animals. When it has
completely curdled, you can separate the curds from the liquid whey (air dadih). Then you
can use the curds for cheese making. The whey is often used in other dishes.

The curds can be used fresh, and can be seasoned or flavoured. This is the basis of
ayib ( a fresh Ethiopian cheese ). Alternatively, you can cut and mix the curds with salt along with
other bacteria or even molds, before you press them and leave them to dry out. The bacteria and
moulds added at this stage of the process are very important. They affect the development of the
final flavor and texture of the cheese as it ripens – a process that may take months or years,
depending on the type of cheese being made. This is how the majority of cheese are made in
countries such as the UK and the USA.
