The mystery behind the shapes of cheese

Many reasons have surfaced over different shapes of cheese. There have been theories regarding the same. Cheese’s shapes purely have to do with salt absorption, pressure, ripening, and tradition.

Cheese in wheels

Some of the below-listed reasons are why wheel-shaped cheese is more delicious

  1. Cheese made in the wheel shape needs equal rates of salt uptake. During the ripening action from its molds, they break down the milk proteins and generate delicious ambrosia within.
  2. Wheel-shaped cheese facilitates consistent thickness that encourages equal absorption as the surface flora spread, which allows disk shape molds to work all over the area.
  3. Edges in the square blocks are often a source of problems as there is a possibility that they have to work more on sides, and cheese doesn’t come out well if the cheesemaker fails to meet the right conditions.
  4. Another reason to make cheese in a wheel historically is pressure. There are cases where the dry salting method used in their production needs quite a bit of pressure to hold the curd until it sticks on its own. Round mold helps to provide extra strength, whereas rectangular molds can’t do the same.
  5. It is said that cheese wheels were often made in these enormous sizes for sales in the market. You could also ask the seller to lower the rates if you want to buy these large wheels.

Other shapes of cheese

From large blocks, small blocks of cheese are cut for consumer usage. It is often said to be a wise choice as blocks are economical to stack and more comfortable to store and transport over long distances.

There are many shapes in which cheese are made, including pyramids and cylinder. It is because of the traditions that people have been following around the world, and the modern cheese-making environment holds many types of equipment. These types of cheese are very popular with goat’s milk cheeses, like chevre. France is said to be the cheese capital, as it has a wide variety of cheese available. Cheese like a flat disk of Banon is known to have originated in Provençe, while a log of the creamy and mild Montrachet comes from Burgundy. The striking cheese called Valançay or Pyramid comes from Valançay, which is instantly recognizable for its flat-topped pyramidal shape.

As said above, there are several kinds of cheese. There is also one more cheese called blue cheese. Cheese-making is an art, and its shape depends on the shape of the mold taken to produce the desired product. These molds work their way through small cracks inside a ripening cheese that helps it to thrive by getting a little oxygen.

Conclusion

Cheese is prepared and consumed all over the world, and everybody loves cheese. It doesn’t matter what shape is the cheese made up in. Some common shapes are the wheel, block, pyramid, and cylinder.
