What is cheese?

Take raw milk. Add rennet so it separates into curds and whey. Dump it into cheesecloth. Clump it together. Tie up the cloth in a bundle and swing it around and around to get they whey out. Then put it into forms. Press it together. And clamp it to squeeze the stuff out. Flip it every couple of days. Good cheese in a couple of months

Cheese is a food derived from milk that is produced in a wide range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep.

Sour milk, bug pee and animal stomach mucous.
They add bugs (bacteria) to milk.
The bugs drink the milk sugars and pee out acid.
Then they add rennet (animal stomach mucous or some chemical equivalent)
This forms curds (solid part) and whey (liquid part). You can see an example of both curds and whey in the moister brands of cottage cheese.
The whey is drained and the curds are dried, usually in "frames" to form blocks

Milk processed by bacterial cultures to the point where it solidifies and gains a different flavor. There's more steps, but that's as simple as I can make it.
