PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an industrial method for manufacturing a portioned soft cheese with a surface matured with mold, in addition with a flavor substance, which can be cut into portions after addition of the flavor substance and then subjected to maturation and subsequent heat sterilization without problems in cutting into portions, causing no leakage of the cheese or the flavor substance from packaging material in heat sterilization, without losing shape.SOLUTION: The industrial method for manufacturing a portioned soft cheese with a surface matured with mold, in addition with a flavor substance, includes the steps of: cutting a cheese curd having white mold grown in the primary maturation and adding a flavor substance on the cross section bonding the cheese pieces obtained by the cutting so as to restore the original shape and cutting the cheese curd having the restored shape into portions by a machine without losing the shape and peeling of the cheese at the part having the flavor substance added, and mechanically transporting each of the portions.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,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、風味物質が添加されたポーションタイプのカビによる表面熟成軟質チーズの工業的な製造方法の提供。【解決手段】一次熟成中で白カビが生育したチーズカードを切断して、風味物質を切断面に添加する工程、切断して得られたチーズ片を接着させてもとの形状に戻す工程、及びもとの形状に戻したチーズカードを、チーズの型くずれ及び風味物質を添加した部分でのチーズの剥がれを生じさせることなく、機械によりポーションカットし、かつ各ポーションを機械的に移送する工程を含む、風味物質が添加されたポーションタイプのカビによる表面熟成軟質チーズの工業的な製造方法。【選択図】なし
