Milk rich in fat, as compared with milk poor in fat, usually pro- 
duces cheese containing more fat in proportion to other constitu- 
ents. The composition of cheese depends primarily upon the com- 
position of the milk used, provided the process of cheese-making 
is performed in a normal manner, so as to avoid excessive loss 
of fat or casein. In this connection we shall discuss the relation 
of composition of milk to composition of cheese (a) in case of 
normal milk, (b) in case of skimmed milk, and (c) in case of 
milk containing added cream. | 
Composition of checse from normal milk.— The composition of 
green cheese, in case of normal factory milk, as made in New York 
State, shows the following range of variations and general average 
as determined by extended investigations carried on by this Station.

We can illustrate differences in composition of cheese made from 
normal milks differing in composition by taking cheese made from 
the milk of different breeds of cows. For this purpose, we will 
use the composition of milk as found in case of four different 
breeds.
