... But the demand for Roquefort cheese has become so great that trickery now plays a part in the ripening process.

This is not exactly cheating; it is ...

Setting it too hot, or cooling it with cold water, inclines the cheese to heave. Too much rennet gives it a strong, unpleasant smell and taste. Break the curd as fine as possible with the hand or dish, or better with a regular cheese-knife with three blades.
