Production Process
Production ProcessBeside water and fat the ingredients of cheese are proteins and carbohydrates (lactose). The dry matter is converted by enzymes and bacteria during the cheese ripening process. The result of this fermentation is cheese flavor. In order to accelerate the ripening process enzymes are added to the cheese. In addition, the ripening parameters for the bacteria and enzymes are optimized.
The result of this optimized fermentation process is a cheese paste concentrate with a strength level from 15 up to 30-fold higher than found in traditional cheese.
In some cases natural flavors are added to the intensively ripened cheese paste to complete the flavor profile of the natural cheese flavor.
