Delightful video, because so many instructions about making cheese make it seem so complicated. There is one other important use for calcium chloride and that is when you make a brine to salt cheese. If the brine has no calcium chloride, it may pull calcium from the cheese and leave you with a very "slimy" surface on the wheel of cheese. Similarly, if the brine is less acidic than the cheese, you may find that some of the acidity in the cheese is "pulled" into the brine solution. It's like a warm area next to a cold area: the warmth is pulled from the cold material until both areas are at the same temperature. So, we generally add some white vinegar when we make a brine solution.
Thank you. Quite understandable. Somewhere I recently read of and apprentice Baker, who forgot to add salt to his large batch. So he had to throw it out in the dumpster. Well, it started, expanding, raising the lid and making strange noises. And the police were called to deal with this situation. Chuckle
