PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portion-cut product of soft cheese surface-ripened with mold to which a tasty substance is added, the cheese causing no problem when portion cutting is made, preventing the cheese and tasty substance from leaking from a packing material when heat sterilization is made, and keeping its own shape even if it is subjected to the portion cutting, after the tasty substance is added, and then subjected to heat sterilization processing after it is ripened.SOLUTION: A tasty substance is added during the primary ripening period, and portion cutting is made after at least a one-day ripening period elapses after the tasty substance is added. Further, the cut section of the cheese on which the tasty substance is exposed due to the portion cutting is tightly packed with a packing material not to cause the leakage of the cheese and tasty substance and the deformation which are caused by heat sterilization after the secondary ripening period. In this manner, the portion-cut product of the soft cheese surface-ripened with mold is obtained, the tasty substance being added to the cheese concerned.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】風味物質を添加後ポーションカットし、その後熟成してから加熱殺菌処理を行っても、ポーションカット時に問題が生じず、また加熱殺菌時に包材からのチーズや風味物質の漏洩がなく、型くずれもしない風味物質を添加したカビによる表面熟成軟質チーズのポーションカット品を提供する。【解決手段】一次熟成期間中に風味物質を添加した後、ポーションカットを風味物質添加後少なくとも1日の熟成期間を経た後に行う。さらに、ポーションカットにより風味物質が露出したチーズ切断面を包材と密着包装することにより二次熟成期間後に行う加熱殺菌によるチーズや風味物質の漏洩および型くずれを生じることなく、風味物質を添加したカビによる表面熟成軟質チーズのポーションカット品が得られる。【選択図】なし
