  You can replace it with other cultures. Anything that can convert a sugar into lactic acid and you could use a milk that lacked lactose to make normal cheese. Or you can make a cheese with out the lactic acid. It will just taste a bit different.

    as someone who loves cheese way too much, lactose free cheese has something off about it. it’s just not cheese. not saying it’s bad, but it just ain’t cheese.

      Lactose has a specific mouthfeel in beers, so I buy it would change cheeses dramatically.

      If the cheese aged for enough time, it’s getting practically lactose in the process.
