Abstract
A method for producing liquid fermented milk according to the present invention includes: preparing a fermented milk base that contains milk protein containing whey protein; adding a lactic acid bacteria starter to the fermented milk base and then inducing fermentation to produce fermented milk curds; breaking the fermented milk curds to produce fermented milk having an average particle diameter of 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less; and holding the fermented milk in a container to thicken the fermented milk, thereby producing liquid fermented milk, the liquid fermented milk containing the milk protein in an amount of 2.5% or more, the milk protein containing the whey protein in an amount of 25% or more, the liquid fermented milk having a viscosity at 10° C. of 100 mPa·s or more and 700 mPa·s or less.
