well-known and consumed cheeses in the world. It refers to a production technique rather than a
specific type of cheese. After the cheese is fermented and the whey is filtered, the remaining precipitate
is washed again with clean water, thereby reducing the formation of lactic acid and resulting in a sweeter
cheese.
