"This is their milk! Ah, but it has to be left for a while... eventually, if you leave it in the heat, it will develop a smell and turn solid, and then it's called cheese." He pauses for a moment, then adds, helpfully, "There are many different sorts of it; some of them are made to grow mold, even, to give it a special taste."
One most note that Hei, while being a connoisseur of all things edible, does not have a very good idea of how cheese is, in fact, made. But neither does she, so it hardly matters.
