PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing cheese with a tasty substance added that can surely prevent delamination even if cheese curd with the tasty substance sandwiched in a layer state is cut along a laminating direction.SOLUTION: The cheese curd is cut along a cutting face 2C extending over two faces which are a horizontal cutting face 2C1 cut into a predetermined depth from the outer peripheral surface of the cheese curd, and a cylindrical vertical cutting face 2C2 continuous with the inner peripheral edge of the horizontal cutting face 2C1. The tasty substance 2D is sandwiched between the layers of the obtained upper side cheese curd 2A and lower side cheese curd 2B to obtain laminated cheese curd 2. Portion cheese 3 is obtained by cutting the laminated cheese curd 2 with a cheese cutting apparatus 1 having radial cutting edges 20. After cutting is completed, the lower side cheese curd 2B is in contact with the cutting edges 20 so as to be prevented from falling.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】呈味物質を層状に挟み込んだチーズカードを積層方向に沿って切断しても層剥離を確実に防止できる呈味物質が添加されたチーズの製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】チーズカードの外周面から所定の深さで切り込まれた水平切断面2C1と、この水平切断面2C1の内周縁に連続する円筒形の垂直切断面2C2との2面に亘る切断面2Cでチーズカードを切断する。得られた上部側チーズカード2Aおよび下部側チーズカード2Bの層間に呈味物質2Dを挟み込んで積層チーズカード2を得る。放射状の切断刃20を有したチーズ切断装置1にて、積層チーズカード2を切断しポーションチーズ3を得る。切断終了時に切断刃20に下部側チーズカード2Bが接触しているので落下しない。【選択図】図4
