Cheese is a great source of protein and calcium but is often high in saturated fat and salt.

Cheeses that are ripened are Parmesan Cheese, brick cheese, Swiss Cheese, Cheddar Cheese and Colby Cheese. 

Ripened cheeses are made by coagulating milk proteins with enzymes (rennet) and culture acids.

These cheeses are then ripened (aged) by bacteria or mold.

Cheese ripening, alternatively cheese maturation or affinage, is a process in cheesemaking.

It is responsible for the distinct flavor of cheese, and through the modification of "ripening agents", determines the features that define many different varieties of cheeses, such as taste, texture, and body.

Cheese is classified according to firmness.

There are three main categories of cheese in which the presence of mold is an important feature: soft-ripened cheeses, washed-rind cheeses and blue cheeses.

The process to make cheese is.

Preparing the milk: Before it can be turned into cheese, the milk may need to be processed.
Acidifying the milk: Adding cultures to the milk allows it to begin to ferment and makes it more acidic.
Curdling the milk: Adding rennet causes a reaction that curdles the milk, creating curds.
Cutting the curd: Next, the cheesemaker cuts the curd with knives and heats it, further separating the curds and whey.
Processing the curd: Processing the curd through stirring, cooking and washing continue to acidify and dry the curds.
Draining the whey: Next, the whey is drained, leaving only a mat of cheese curds.
Cheddaring the cheese: The cheesemaker next cuts the curd mat into sections and repeatedly flips the sections before milling the mat.
Salting the cheese: For some cheeses, the next is dry salting, and for others, it is brining.
Shaping the cheese: Next, cheese makers shape the cheese, often using molds to assist.
Aging the cheese: Some cheeses are aged for anywhere from a number of days to a number of years.

Mold ripened cheese is a soft and ripened cheese that has a healthy type of mold known as (Penicillium candidum, camemberti or glaucum) added to the milk that is sprayed over the cheese or added to the milk of the cheese.

The added mold creates the soft, white rind and also helps the cheese ripen from the outside in.

Surface mold–ripened soft cheeses are types of cheeses that are characterized by the presence of a felt-like coating of white mycelia due to the growth of Penicillium camemberti on the surface.

The presence of this mold gives these cheeses a characteristic appearance, as well as a typical aroma and taste.

Cheese ripening or cheese maturation is a process in the cheese-making.

This process is associated the activities many microbial proteases and lipases changing the morphology and physical texture of the cheese as well as developing the taste and flavor of the product.

As their name indicates, ripened cheeses are then further matured to develop a stronger taste and an ideal texture.
