RECORDING I DSA - Fermentations that play a role in cheese making and cheese ripening

By Dairy Standard Agency on 15 May 2024

Fermented dairy products, particularly cheese, have been used for thousands of years to preserve milk, to make it more transportable, readily available, and more digestible because of lactose breakdown during the fermentation process.

There are various fermentations that play an important role in cheese making and cheese ripening. As they say…” Age is not important unless you’re a cheese”.

In this webinar the focus are on:

  • The most important fermentations.
  • The effect it has on different types of cheese.
