Certain bacteria is introduced to milk. What happens is that the bacteria eat up the lactose in the milk, and convert the milk into cheese. So basically, bacteria role in cheese production is everything- it's the things that actually make it cheese.
What is the role of bacteria in cheese production?
bacteria provide the flavor for cheeses.
Cheese is made by separating milk into its liquid and solid components (curds and whey). The solids (curds) are collected, dried, shaped, etc. and then certain strains of bacteria are added which produce certain compounds that give the curds flavor. Certain strains of fungi are also used for the same purpose.
