The science behind cheese!
Milk is a type of mixture called a colloid. A colloid has multiple ingredients that are permanently suspended in the mixture. Unlike water and dirt, they won’t settle out. If you add an acid to a colloid, the ingredients will separate.   When you make cheese, you separate the colloid and collect all leftover materials (whey).

 For some more information on colloids, you can visit HERE and HERE
