Cuajada. Se obtiene a partir de la leche, con mayor o menor contenido en grasa, que ha sido sometida a algún tratamiento térmico y adicionada de cuajo o enzimas coagulantes. [...] Las enzimas del cuajo actúan sobre las micelas de la caseína desestabilizándola y haciendo que se repelan unas a otras, de este modo se forma una red tridimensional. Se forma un gel, este proceso es irreversible.
