A way of painting often applied in Europe up to World War
II, particularly in
the South West and the Balkans was already mentioned in old Hebrew texts
reminding the housewife to keep the curd cheese for the painter visiting in
autumn and asking the landlord to get the colored soil from the mountain in
good time to be prepared for the painter to give everything a fresh coating on
Thanksgiving Day.
Today lactic acidic casein is preferred to curd cheese as an
exceptionally
good binder for a wall paint. It is produced by manufacturing skimmed milk to
curd cheese that is washed, pressed, ground and dried.
