- 选择配料 – 包括选择牛奶、添加畸形菌群(起点培养素)、可能的情况下添加腐蚀酶(用于催化咖哩酸的生成)以及在某些奶酪类型中添加酵母或者其他微生物。
- 发酵 – 温度控制的过程,让起点培养素在牛奶中发挥作用,转化葡萄糖为乙酸,这个过程通常在保持清洁环境的同时进行,以避免混淆性微生物的增长。
- 凝固 – 使用动物源的胰酶(如羊牛胰酶)或者合成的胰酶来催化蛋白质的聚集形成奶酪结构。这个过程通常伴随着大量的清液(奶酪清液)的释放,以去除杂质和水分,因为水分的存在会促进腐败。
- 排除奶酪清液 – 通过切割、筛选等方法将奶酪清液从奶酪结构中分离出去,以减少腐败的风险。
- 加入盐 – 为了阻止进一步的细菌发酵,通常会将盐混入凝固后的奶酪,这个过程称为“淋盐”。
- 模仿和成熟 – 将奶酪放入适宜的温度和相对湿度控制的储存环境中,让奶酪在这个过程中发生化学变化,形成和发展特定的风味、质地和视觉效果。这个阶段可以持续几周到几年。
- 包装和存储 – 为了保证奶酪的卫生条件,避免外部污染,确保奶酪在成熟后的环境中进入的细菌和病原体。
在这个过程中,特别是在模仫和成熟阶段,对于维持良好的生态环境条件至关重平着外部污染原因,以确保奶酪的品质和安全。
这个过程需要精确控制,以确保奶酪的品质和安全。在某些奶酪类型中,可能还会使用生物(如酵菌)或者其他微生物来影响最终产品的风味和质地。
