Kontrollkäslusier
Kontrollkäslusier, also known as control cheese, are a type of cheese that are used in the production of other cheeses. They are typically made from cow's milk and are aged for a short period, usually between 1 to 3 months. The aging process allows the cheese to develop a specific flavor and texture that is desirable for use in the production of other cheeses. Control cheeses are often used in the production of blue cheese, where they provide a base for the growth of the Penicillium roqueforti mold, which gives the cheese its distinctive flavor and blue veins. They are also used in the production of other cheeses, such as cheddar and gouda, to provide a consistent and predictable flavor profile. Control cheeses are typically sold in large blocks or wheels and are often used by professional cheesemakers and cheese enthusiasts. They are not typically consumed on their own, but rather are used as an ingredient in the production of other cheeses.
