Abstract:
In a process for producing cheese from milk, an inactive milk-clotting enzyme and optionally chymosin or another suitable proteolytic enzyme is added to the milk, optionally simultaneously with or after adding a starter culture, to form a curd, at least part of the inactive enzyme is activated, and the resulting curd is converted to the ripened cheese. The milk employed is preferably concentrated milk, and the inactive milk-clotting enzyme is preferably prochymosin.
