Can you just melt like a crumbly feta or whatever cheese, and turn it into mozzarella?

Now that she has fresh cheese, she can wring it dry and let it ripen over a long time to make even more varieties!

they have milk, cream, but no cheese? I can't imagine how that works...
They don't have cream, since apparently she is the only one in the country with the lab centrifuge you need to make it, but they do have butter: figure that out...

sketchy cheese logic
you don't need rennet to make certain types of soft cheese (ricotta, mozzarella, cottage etc.) and besides, if you have dairy animals you should be able to source rennet. Cheese was a luxury item in Rome when the process was first being explored, but by the time of medieval Europe it was quite common place. Checking Dyer's Standards of Living in the Latter Middle Ages gives me a daily rate for an English thatcher in 1351 as three and a half pence. At the same time, cheese sold for about half a pence per pound. Even the average person should have easily been able to acquire cheese. This story is notorious for its historical inconsistency. (They have large, flawless, cheaply available glass panels at a level only achieved IRL by the early 20th century but no pipes?) Still, this is just bogus.

Edit: Why would they sell safflower mainly to farmers? This is a product of the safflower plant, not the seeds... Safflower has historically mainly been used for dyeing or oil production...

Edit 2: Just checked and Safflower doesn't actually contain chymosin (the active protein in rennet,) a Canadian biotech company has been working on a framework for plant-sourced chymosin from their GMO safflowers, but the method hasn't yet even been commercialized. Most rennet today is bacteria generated.
Edit 3: That's not how you make cream cheese :notlikethis:

Edit 4: HALP. Can't wait to go back and check all the previous chapters for egregious errors I missed because I was distracted by fluff and cuteness.

Milk was a valuable nutritious resource, but it spoiled quickly. Which is why it didn't take long for ppl to figure out how to preserve it by turning it into cheese. As someone else mentioned, it was well established and widely available by the middle ages.

A typical dairy cow produces so much milk a day that it hurts them not to be milked twice a day. Milk was typically stored in a container in a cool place, and by the next day the milk would have separated. The Fatty cream rises to the top and can be skimmed off as cream or creme fresh. The remaining milk was used as buttermilk. Churning raw milk in a churn would force fat to clump together making fresh butter.

Feta is made from sheep (and goat?) milk, while mozzarella is made from buffalo milk...
Traditionally, yes. Just how champagne is not champagne unless it comes from Champagne France. But you can make *feta and *mozzarella from regular cow milk. It's more about the process than the origin.
