cheese depends on a number of factors including the balance of fat, protein and milk sugars in the milk which varies by animal (e.g. sheep milk is about 9 % fat and 5 % protein, whereas cow's milk has about 4 % fat and 3 % protein), the bacteria used, how the curds are
processed, how long the
cheese is kept before eating and how much water is left in the
cheese (soft
cheese contains over 45 % water, hard / semi-hard
cheeses contain 30 - 45 % water, and dry hard
cheeses such as Parmesan have
less than 30 % moisture content).
