Is it theoretically possible to make cheese from whale's milk?

Question

They are mammals which suckle their young, so I assume it would be theoretically if not physically possible; though it would probably be quite salty.  Just a thought - what do you think?
;)

I have been drinking whale milk since I fell off a boat as a child and was reared by a school of humpbacks.  I am now the size of a small ocean cruise liner and can hold my breath for 2 weeks.

3 years ago I accidentally left some on the back of mama humpback and it curdled then turned into what is best described as something on a par to Saint Agur.

Its not salty - its delicious.

Yes = Cheese and Yogurt products can be made from "Any Milk" including "Mothers [human] Milk!"

Of course you can use whale milk. I am sort of a cheese aficionado - I just love cheese.  All kinds.  However, whales milk cheese, huh?   Can you send  me some when you make it?  Thanks!

Yes, it very much is possible to make cheese from all mammalian milk.  I had camel cheese once.  I didn't like it.

I guess it would be possible, provided it had a similar constituency as dairy mammal's milk

It would be possible.  It would taste of blubber.  It might be popular with eskimos, but it wouldn't suit European tastes.

I don't know why it couldn't. But I bet it would make better butter...cause it has lots of fat!
