What is made of milk other than butter and sour cream?

Milk is the first product in the life of every person, because we are representatives of the mammal class. But if other members of the same class, growing up, completely switch to other food, then a person does not refuse milk until old age. About what is made of milk, you can tell for hours. The dairy industry occupies a huge segment of the market. In order to see this clearly, just visit any supermarket and evaluate what percentage of the showcases of the food department is dairy products. The production of milk and dairy products is a very profitable business, since there is practically no waste from it. Everything goes into business and absolutely everything is claimed by the consumer.

Let's see what is done from milk, and where dairy products are diverging. The milkmaid received milk from the cow. This is a completely ready-to-use product. You can simply drink it, or you can, after subjecting it to some transformations, get a lot of other products from it. The milk itself drinks a relatively small percentage of the population, since it is a very "perishable" product. It stood a little and ceased to be a pair, so that only those who have access to milk producers, in other words, cows, can eat it. It is clear that we are talking only about the inhabitants of the countryside, since it is impossible to keep a cow in a city apartment. Although, according to the popular rumor, such attempts have been made.

But back to what is made of milk. It has settled and ceased to be a pair. To speed up this process, he is forcibly cooled, placing him in a cool environment. The villagers, without philosophizing slyly, simply put milk in a glacier or lowered a can filled with it in the well. After a while, a dense layer of cream is collected on the surface of the milk, which is a fat that has surfaced on the surface. It is drained (now it is clear the origin of the name, and also the meaning of the idioms "to remove the cream" becomes clear), and the skim milk remains in the container - reverse.

Cream you can just drink, and you can put in a cold place and after a few days get sour cream. In order to accelerate this process, the leaven is introduced into the skimmed cream - in the villages, as a starter, a little sour cream, left over from the previous time, is used. After you smiled the resulting product (yes, it was from this verb and got its name sour cream), you still have serum.

In the line of what is made of milk, you should not miss two such popular products, like cottage cheese and cheese. The processes of their preparation are basically similar, only the cottage cheese is ready already in a day, and the cheese should ripen, and for its ripening very specific conditions are needed. By the way, after the curdled mass removed from the milk, there is again a serum that can or drink just so, or add it to okroshka, or use for baking.

This all applied to fresh milk, but what if the product deteriorated due to heat and shortage of time, that is, sour? Any experienced hostess will tell you that from sour milk you can cook a lot of very, very delicious dishes. Yes, the same yogurt, yogurt and ryazhenka, tan, ayran, etc. - Do not for nothing treat a number of fermented milk products. By the way, even glue was made from milk, so in dairy production there is an application for everything.
