Term Definition
Complexity

Refers to the complexity of a cheese that shapes its flavor. The cheesemaker controls a cheese's complexity by carefully managing the enzymes in the curd. These enzymes come from the presence of a wide variety of beneficial bacteria introduced through the milk or the starter culture. Further complexity can be created by using good quality raw milk if the cheese is to be aged over 60 days.
