Milk contains a protein called casein, which is negatively charged. Vinegar contains hydrogen ions, which are positively charged. The hydrogen ions and casein proteins attract each other and form the white, plastic-y lumps. The lumps are called curds and the process of forming the lumps is called curdling.

How do you turn milk into cheese?

When you add an acid like lemon juice to warm milk, it causes molecules of one of the proteins in milk to bond to one another. That forms a solid lump of protein which is also known as a cheese curd (the leftover liquid is called whey.)

The cheese's signature blue veins are created during the early aging stage when the cheese is "spiked" with stainless steel rods to let oxygen circulate and encourage the growth of the mold. This is also referred to as "needling." This process softens the texture and develops the cheese's distinctive blue flavor.

How is mozzarella made?

The process of making mozzarella is called pasta filata. The milk is incubated with a whey starter containing thermophilic bacteria and then rennet is added to form the curds. The curds are heated in water or whey until they form strings (hence the term "string cheese") and become elastic in texture.

Why does milk and vinegar make plastic?

When milk is heated and combined with an acid, such as vinegar, the casein molecules unfold and reorganize into a long chain. Each casein molecule is a monomer and the chain of casein monomers is a polymer. The polymer can be scooped up and molded, which is why plastic made from milk is called casein plastic.
