A process for the manfacture of a processed cheese or a processed cheese speciality with an original supple texture similar to that of original cheeses and possessing holes in the cheese visible to the naked eye, by beating of a melted cheese while still hot in the presence of an inert gas so as to cause the cheese to swell followed by the partial reduction in volume of the whipped cheese so obtained while still hot and rapid cooling of the product obtained.

Manufacturing process for processed cheeses with an original texture and

A ripened process cheese having the appearance and the organoleptic properties of a soft or hard or semi-hard cheese with a moldy rind, is prepared by forming a cheese block from a cheese melt, acidifying the surface of the cheese block to a pH of 4 to 5 to flocculate surface proteins and form a pre-rind, seeding the acidified surface of the cheese block with ripening molds, and ripening the thus seeded cheese block. Acidification of the surface prevents undue lipolytic and proteolytic breakdown of the cheese by action of enzymes of the molds.
