Quark flavoured with salt and caraway is shaped, dried and laid in crates with live cheese mites and rye flour. The mites ripen the cheese over several months, and it is eaten with the mites. Their defence secretion gives it a lemon-like note.

Quark flavoured with salt and caraway is shaped, dried and laid in crates with live cheese mites and rye flour. The mites ripen the cheese over several months, and it is eaten with the mites. Their defence secretion gives it a lemon-like note. Cheese mite Tyrolichus casei does most of the fermenting.
Milbenkäse is ripened by enzymes from cheese mites, where almost all other cheeses ripen by rennet enzymes or lactic bacteria. Their defence secretion carries neral, the lemon note of the cheese. Mimolette's mites work its rind.

Ripening
Several months with live mites (TU Darmstadt)
Flavour source
Neral, a lemon-oil compound in the mites' secretion; absent once the mites are removed
German Wikipedia says cheese mites have been bred around Zeitz and Altenburg since the Middle Ages, and that by about 1970 only one elderly woman in Würchwitz still made the cheese. In 1881 the physician Friedrich Küchenmeister wrote that farmers in some parts of Germany bred mites in boxes to make it. The teacher Helmut Pöschel began breeding mites and revived the tradition, and Würchwitz put up a monument to the cheese mite in 2001.
