I made a pressed cheese today and noticed my whey was very milky. It's
been awhile since i used milk from the local grocery store, but i'm
pretty sure this same thing happened with some mozzerella i made a few
months ago. The inital whey looks fine but once it gets down to the
pressing point it gets milky. I dont know the cause or even if it is
the milk for sure. My post is a question to see if anyone knows why i'm
seeing milky whey? I used skim milk and whipping cream, maybe its from
too much fat?

The drained whey from drained yogurt looks milky at the bottom of my
yogurt drainer. I just assumed that it was part of the milk/cream that
didn't get solidified. I don't know any other answer.

I keep a lot of my whey for use as the liquid called for in
bread-making.

I get a bit of milky whey, too - and it's usually at the start of
straining (guessing that the muslin has a finer filtering effect once
saturated).

Thanks all, i was concerned the milky whey was from overcooking the
curd or something. I made pressed cheese twice in the last month and
the milky whey only occured on one attempt. I'm pretty sure the milk i
used or possibly the cream was at fault, but maybe it wasnt something
bad after all. I did learn yesterday that ultra pastuerized cream can
be bad as well. I know the cream was UP and im not so sure i can find
any milk products that arent!

Thanks
