There are different methods curing cheese to get different flavors, some are hand formed and uncured, snd then sold whole (fresh mozzarella), some are molded in a large wooden mold and then unmolded, stacked and aged, then cut into wedges for sale (Cheddar or Parmesan), some are kneaded, hand formed into sausage or ball shapes, tied with string and hung up to cure or be smoked (provolone.)
