The Molecular Secrets of Cream Cheese

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pandering-to-the-editors dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "The June issue of Wired Magazine carries a story about one of the two university labs in the U.S. dedicated to cream cheese research. This one is -- where else? -- in Madison, Wisconsin, where researchers are exploring the molecular mysteries of cream cheese. You may not know, but this cheese is tricky to produce because the acid-secreting bacteria used to coagulate the milk need to be killed at the right time. The researchers are now writing a guidebook about the secrets of cream cheese, a book which will be available to anyone, in a process similar to the open source movement for software. For more information, please read the entertaining article of Wired magazine, 'Schmear Campaign' or this summary to discover little-known facts about cream cheese."

    It's amazing, it seems like most of the stories anymore are repeats of ones that have been in wired for 2-3 weeks. Really, I think most geeks at least browse through wired everyonce in a while.
