Abstract

A process for the production of a cheese in powder form which, after reconstitution, has the properties of mozzarella or of a cheese for souffles, which comprises inoculating a colloidal solution having at least partly the composition of a skimmed milk with a lactic ferment, allowing the solution to ferment under aerobic conditions until its pH falls to a value of from about 4.8 to 5.2, heating the fermented solution to obtain curds and serum, separating the curds from the serum, adding to the curds approximately 5 to 50% by weight, based on dry matter, of fats while adjusting the pH of the mixture if necessary to a value of from about 5.1 to 5.7, and drying the mixture obtained.
