The invention relates to a method for producing cheese, comprising the steps of: providing a milk raw material, subjecting the milk raw material to microfiltration and pre-acidification to produce an acidified casein concentrate, where the microfiltration is performed prior to orsimultaneously with the pre-acidification, concentrating the acidified casein concentrate to produce full concentrated pre-cheese, processing the full concentrated pre-cheese to a cheese product. The invention also relates to cheese having a ratio of total content of β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin to glycomacropeptide of at most about 1.35.
