Abstract

A spreadable cheese having characteristics of crescenza cheese is prepared by coagulating milk with lactic acid at a pH of 5 to 5.3 to produce curd, draining the curd to a dry matter content of from 30 to 50%, adding salt to the drained curd in an amount of 0.5 to 1% of the total weight of the drained curd and allowing the salted curd to ripen until it is complete. By this process, it is possible to produce on an industrial scale a cheese having characteristics of the traditional crescenza cheese.
