Sérac is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Whey from hard cheesemaking, sometimes with skim milk or buttermilk, is heated to about 90 °C and soured with lactic, acetic or citric acid, and the floating whey proteins are skimmed into perforated moulds. It drains and is ready from the next day, fresh or salted, ripened or smoked.

The whey is left after the milk is set with rennet and selected lactic bacteria for the main cheese; much of the milk's albumin stays in it.

At a glance
Sérac is a boundary entry, set by heat and acid, not by microbes. Whey from hard cheesemaking, sometimes with skim milk or buttermilk, is heated to about 90 °C and soured with lactic, acetic or citric acid, and the floating whey proteins are skimmed into perforated moulds. It drains and is ready from the next day, fresh or salted, ripened or smoked. Made in 5 steps over 15 min. The longest step, sour and let the flakes float, takes 15 min (Swissmilk (Swiss dairy producers)).
The everyday whey cheese of Swiss hard-cheese dairies, set at about 90 °C with acid or soured whey ('azi'). Older whole-milk sérés survive in Glarner Schabziger and the Spendziger of Ferden.
Yield
About 40 litres of milk per kilogram of sérac
Not the same as séré (Quark)
In Suisse romande 'séré' also names fresh acid curd (Quark), which is a different product
Smoked alpine séracSet on a board under the chimney hood
Goat séracMade on alps that keep goats
Macéré (lost)Heavily salted and peppered sérac buried in a box under the chalet over winter
Safety
The whey is heated to about 90 °C before the curd is made. Fresh sérac is ready for sale and eating from the next day. The leftover liquid is soured and kept cold as 'azi' for the next batch.
Sérac or séré is attested from the 12th century in medieval Latin (seratium) and in a Gruyère document of October 1312. A Valais deed of 1437 asks for two séracs from the Arolla alp a year. The inventory says it appears as poor people's food in the literature from the Renaissance, and that many remember it as the 'fromage de la honte'. Today it is valued for its lean protein.
