    Abstract: A method of producing cheese by ripening the cheese under high pressure, e.g. between 100 to 2500 kg/cm.sup.2. Ripening the cheese under high pressure significantly shortens the period of time required for ripening, while having no adverse effect on the flavor and testure of the cheese as compared to cheese ripened in the conventional manner. Ripening the cheese also reduces the proliferation of contaminant microorganisms.
