Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt

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.

    Sometimes! Lactose is not easily fermentable, so it leaves residual sugars and a unique silky feel. Mostly in darker beers, like milk stouts or chocolate porters.

    And what you absolutely don’t want in beer is lactose fermenting bacteria. It gives it a cleaning rag stench.

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