The bacteria used to make cheese are generally known as lactic acid bacteria (LAB). These bacteria convert lactic acid to lactate. Examples of these are Streptococcus thermophilus, and Lactobacillus helveticus.
Secondary bacterial cultures are introduced to produce texture, flavours and the holes in Swiss cheese.
