I am making my very first cheese today (it's a farmhouse cheddar, from a kit called "Mad Millie Hard Cheese") and am waiting for it to turn into curds, and started wondering about using food colouring to make green cheese, red cheese, purple cheese, or hot pink cheese?
Is there chemicals in the food colouring which would stop it from turning into curds, or make it taste funny, or anything else?
I know it's too late to do this for today's cheese (and being my first i want to follow the directions exactly), but I will be making another batch next weekend of "Bra Duro" cheese, and it would be cool to make it funky coloured (My 9 and 7 year old boys would love it!).
Thanks in advance!
