Cheese is almost an international food. Many nations have cheese-making traditions. Those traditionsgo back hundreds of years. There are two notable exceptions. China has no cheese-making tradition. Japanhas no cheese-making tradition. In China and Japan,milk is not important. It is not an important part of thediet. In other various and different countries, however, milk has an important significance, and no one sin-gle person cares whether it comes from cows, goats, sheep, or buffalo. Cheese is an important dairy prod-uct. Cheese adds variety and appeal to the diets of millions.

Each kind of cheese has a different flavor. Flavor depends on the kind of milk and the exact process usedfor making the cheese. All cheeses are made from sour milk. The sour part becomes solid. It separates fromthe whey,or leftover liquid. The cheese-making process involves some combination of heating the curd,press-ing it, removing the whey,and then the curd would be heated and pressed again. Even a slight change in theprocess can change the cheese. It can change the flavor.

DIRECTIONS Read each passage. Then, read the questions after the passage and choose thebest answer.
