Say Cheese! Try cheese from Udderly Delicious NYC

The milk man may give Udderly Delicious its namesake, but don't let that fool you one bit. There is much more dairy than glass bottled milk in stock at the NYC milk delivery service. One thing for sale that most people enjoy as a snack or an appetizer is cheese. Cheese is a dairy product made by curdling milk with rennet and allowing it to age, thus why you often see cheese in grocery stores that are labeled "aged". Cheese is one of the cow's greatest contributions, and a tasty snack with its bold flavor. 

Cheese can be enjoyed creamy, sliced, diced, melted, and more. With the help of milk, the flavor of cheese stays well crafted. In fact, different types of milk have a heavy influence on the type of cheese, including cow's milk and goat's milk. Other factors that affect flavor include percentage of fat content and protein. 

What Milk Makes Which Cheese?

Milk that is higher in fat produces creamier and richer cheeses, and because different breeds of animals contain different proteins in their milk, this also has an affect on the flavor of cheese. Common cheeses made from cow's milk include cheddar, parmesan, gouda, brie, swiss, mozzarella, blue cheese, and emmental. 

Goat cheese or "chevre" in French, is made from as its name suggests, goat milk.

Taste Test: a Guide to Common Cheeses

• Cheddar: Bold, sharp, and nutty. Cheddar ages when it is stored in a temperature-controlled space. The famous Yellow Cheddar goes through this process, and can range in flavor from mild to extra sharp.
• Mozzarella: Mild, milky, and stretchy—perfect for melting and fresh dishes.
• Gouda: Sweet, caramel-like notes with a creamy or firm texture depending on its age.
