Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Raw cow milk enriched with cream is set slowly with calf rennet, and the curd is hung in muslin to drain, salted and left hanging for at least 21 days so native lactic bacteria sour it. The crumbled, ripened core, with butter if needed, is shaped into a ball and wrapped in two layers of freshly stretched skim-milk curd. The skin dries hard around the soft core.

Raw cow milk enriched with cream is set slowly with calf rennet, and the curd is hung in muslin to drain, salted and left hanging for at least 21 days so native lactic bacteria sour it. The crumbled, ripened core, with butter if needed, is shaped into a ball and wrapped in two layers of freshly stretched skim-milk curd. The skin dries hard around the soft core. Made in 9 steps over 2.5 months – 5.5 months. The longest step, age and store, takes 50 days – 3.6 months (Aldrete-Tapia A 2018). Salt is 3–4 % (Aldrete-Tapia A 2018). Streptococcus thermophilus, dominant in cheese at 50 days (44.02–80.48%) and 110 days (32.37–94.67%) at most producers; Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus helveticus, L. delbrueckii and L. plantarum also predominated during processing does most of the fermenting.
Two cheeses in one. A long-soured, cream-enriched rennet curd forms the core, and a quick vinegar-set, stretched skim-milk curd wraps it. The skin stiffens as it dries; a 2024 study calls it a sort of package that extends the core's shelf life, and gives no figure.
Milk
Raw cow milk enriched with cream for the core; skimmed milk for the skin
Ripening
Curd soured at least 21 days before wrapping; 45-day versions are also sold
Size
Balls of 200–300 g in one study; sold as 400 g and 1 kg pieces
Both parts start from raw milk. Studies stress hygienic milking, handling and the full curd souring time; curds soured 21 days or more reach a lower pH than the young versions sold today. ANSES advises pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity not to eat raw-milk cheeses other than pressed cooked ones such as Gruyère, because of Listeria, Salmonella and Shiga-toxin E. coli.
Hazards the sources name: Low proportions of Escherichia coli/Shigella sequences in almost all processes, not recovered by culture; Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7, none of whose DNA was found by qPCR in 16 Bola de Ocosingo cheeses (Salmonella and S. aureus DNA was found only in the Cotija cheeses of the same study).
A 2019 study counts ten artisanal cheesemakers making the cheese in Ocosingo. Competition from cheaper cheeses has pushed some to shorten the curd souring.
