As I vaguely understand it, human milk lacks some specific kinda proteins required to form ~~milk~~ cheese? There's always a way somehow though

I cannot make sense of this

Omg I'm sorry, operating on very little sleep here lol. You can't make CHEESE from human milk, is what I meant...

EDIT: Googled it, apparently human milk has too little protein in general, and specifically not enough casein.

I believe, based only on my knowledge of breast milk and having done no reading on turning into cheese, that this is because it has lipase enzymes that break down the fats for the baby making digestion easier. I'm guessing you'd want the opposite for cheese production.

I have read a little bit about making whipped cream out of it though.
