The image says any cheese...
This is false.
There are two main categories of cheese, Acid and Rennet.
If the cheese is made with Rennet, it will melt, and sodium citrate will make it smooth and creamy.
If the cheese is made with acid, then it will never melt. It will burn first. Think Feta or similar.
The exception is very long aged cheeses. They don't melt all that well, even though they're made with Rennet.
Every Rennet cheese is aged, if only a few weeks, acid cheeses will spoil if aged.
I would like to subscribe to Cheese Facts
I seem to be dropping them all over this thread.
What about mozzarella? Can't you eat it right away?
You can eat it right away. Fresh mozzarella is the stuff you'll find in grocery stores that's packed in water. It has a fairly short shelf life.
Low moisture mozzarella, on the other hand, is aged a bit. It also has a better cheese pull. Which is due to the aging.
