Cheese

Cheese

Cheese is a type of dairy product produced in a range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It is composed of proteins and fat from milk, usually of cows, goats or sheep, and sometimes of water buffalo. During production, milk is usually acidified and either the enzymes of rennet or bacterial enzymes with similar activity are added to cause the casein to coagulate. The solid curds are then separated from the liquid whey and pressed into finished cheese. Some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout.

Offers include a free cookie at Boni's Bar Next Door, a free glass at Flo's Wine Bar, a free cheese item at Spread & Co., a free drink at Far Out Lounge, a discounted drink at Later Gator Coffee, a free class pass at Black Swan Yoga, and discounted drinks and food at other local spots. Most promotions run through Election Day, though some end earlier. The initiative reflects a broader tradition of local businesses incentivizing civic participation during election periods.
