Synopsis

Unlock the science behind soft cheeses like Camembert and Roquefort. This authoritative bulletin explains how molds influence texture, acidity, and flavor during cheese ripening, based on careful experiments and observations.

This study presents the biological processes that shape ripening, including how specific molds transform curd into a soft, flavorful cheese. It also describes methods used in dairy research to identify and analyze the molds involved, and what factors affect their growth in cheese rooms.


  • How lactic bacteria and molds interact to set acidity and texture in ripening cheese.

  • Which molds are associated with Camembert and Roquefort and how they affect flavor.

  • How temperature, humidity, and inoculation influence ripening outcomes.

  • How researchers study and identify fungi in dairy products using standardized media.



Ideal for readers of dairy science, food microbiology, and those curious about the science behind traditional cheeses.

Product Description

Excerpt from Fungi in Cheese Ripening: Camembert and Roquefort

It has been shown in a previous bulletin that certain fungi are the active agents indispensable to the ripening of Camembert cheese. The general results and the data upon which they rest are there dis cussed, but the more special mycological studies, involving several lines of work, remained to be brought out in greater detail. These fall naturally under two heads: (1) The physiological studies of the func tions of particular species in the ripening processes of Camembert, Roquefort, and certain related types of cheese; (2) the classification and description of these and other forms occurring in dairy work. This paper includes only the work done under the first head. The description of the fungi occurring in dairy work is reserved for another paper.
