Whey Cheese Archives

Browse Cheese Atlas’s extensive range of artisanal whey cheeses from around the world.

Whey cheese is a type of cheese that is made from the whey leftover after making other cheeses. The whey is heated and acidified, causing the proteins to coagulate and form curds. The curds are then drained, pressed and shaped into a cheese. They tend to have a mild, slightly tangy flavour and a soft, moist texture.
