One of the byproducts from the cheese making process is the water that is strained from the liquid mixture, referred to simply as “yellow water” (see Figure 251). This yellow water drips out of the bag used to make cheese as it dries and also is a byproduct of the distillation of milk to make erech (a dairy based vodka) (see Figure 252).
