Question: would you make cheese with different products and from different animals???

Yes you can. Our study just uses cow’s milk cheeses, but you can technically make cheese from any type of milk. Milk contains fat, two main proteins (casein and whey) and carbohydrate, mainly in the form of lactose. To make cheese, you add something to coagulate the milk, either an acid, or an enzyme. The fat and the casein proteins clump together, giving you curds, and the whey proteins and lactose are the watery substance left behind, and you drain it off. You then press the curds as hard as you can to remove the rest of the moisture. If you think of nursery rhyme, little miss muffet was eating her curds and whey! You can do this with pretty much any type of milk. Cows, sheeps and goats milk cheeses are the most common, but some countries even make camel’s milk cheese!
