THE CHASE FOR CHEESE Cheese is made in many places, including the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Switzerland. Cheese can be made using milk from cows, sheep, and goats. There are different kinds of cheese. Cheeses can be soft or hard. Some cheeses are super smelly, and some are even blue! GORGONZOLA CHEDDAR MOZZARELLA The Cheese Wheels

许多地方都生产奶酪，包括荷兰、德国、法国和瑞士。 奶酪可以用牛奶、绵羊和山羊的奶来制作。 奶酪有很多种。 奶酪可软可硬。 有些奶酪特别臭，有些甚至是蓝色的！戈贡左拉干酪、切达干酪、马苏里拉干酪

MAKING CHEESE Because most cheese is made from animal milk, the first step is to get the milk from the animals. Then, the milk is heated to kill bad bacteria. Some farmers use machines to milk cows. Next, the milk is sent to a factory, where it will be made into cheese. Good bacteria are added to the milk. They make the milk thicker and will give the cheese more flavor.

因为大多数奶酪是由动物奶制成的，所以第一步是要从动物身上获得牛奶。 然后，加热牛奶以杀死有害细菌。 一些农民用机器给奶牛挤奶。 接下来，牛奶被送到工厂，在那里它将被制成奶酪。 有益细菌被添加到牛奶中。 它们使牛奶更浓稠，使奶酪更有味道。

FROM MILK TO CURDS Next, something called rennet is added to the milk. The rennet makes the milk curdle. CURDLED MILK When the milk curdles, it forms some solid chunks called curds. It also has a liquid called whey. The whey is taken away, leaving just the curds. Curds Whey

从牛奶到凝乳接下来，一种叫做凝乳酶的东西被添加到牛奶中。 凝乳酶使牛奶凝结。 当牛奶凝结时，它会形成一些叫做凝乳的固体块。 它也有一种叫做乳清的液体。 乳清被拿走，只剩下凝乳。 凝乳乳清

TIME TO AGE The curds are salted to add flavor and to help the cheese stay fresh. Then, the curds are shaped into blocks or wheels. These shapes become cheese. Cheese being shaped Many cheeses must sit to age. They might sit for weeks or even years. They are kept in places that are not too hot and not too cold. Some cheeses age in caves.

腌制凝乳是为了增加风味，并帮助奶酪保持新鲜。 然后，凝乳被做成积木或轮子。 这些形状就变成了奶酪。 许多奶酪必须静置陈年。 他们可能会坐上几个星期甚至几年。 它们被保存在不太热也不太冷的地方。 有些奶酪在洞穴中陈年。
