The ripening of cheese is a natural process in most cases. The ripening is what gives cheese its flavor. The process happens by a series of complex physical, chemical and microbiological changes that incorporates the agents of: bacteria, rennet, milk enzymes, and environmental contaminants. This process basically ages cheese. In the past, cheese ripening was done in cellars and caves, but now in the industiral age, everything is done regulated by machinery and biochemistry
