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.

Cow milk is set with rennet at 30–34 °C, cut small and pressed in cloth-lined moulds, then salted. Farms use raw milk straight after milking and press for at least 8 hours. The young cheeses are washed at least twice in the cave and then rubbed and turned weekly for at least 28 days, until a grey, white and brown mould crust covers them. Made in 7 steps over 31 days – 38 days. The longest step, wash, rub and ripen in the cave, takes at least 28 days (INAO 2016) and runs at 6–14 °C (INAO 2016). Streptococcus thermophilus; wild strains occur in milk from the area, and producers mostly use commercial starters and Brevibacterium aurantiacum, abundant on the rind of every Saint-Nectaire tested do most of the fermenting.

What makes this one different
Saint-Nectaire is pressed but not cooked, and farm cheese is made from raw milk while it is still warm from milking, then pressed for at least 8 hours. Farms traditionally sell the cheeses white to specialist affineurs, who wash them at least twice and then rub them weekly in damp caves. The rind is a dry crust of grey, white and brown moulds, with 'cat-hair' Mucor not found on the other French washed or bloomy cheeses in one survey.
Milk
Raw cow milk on farms; raw or pasteurised milk in dairies
Ripening
At least 28 days after entering the cave; 21 days for the small format
