Abstract: A method for producing cheese without fermentation and ripening steps is provided. The method includes adding vinegar or acidulant to milk and mixing them. Whey is removed from the resultant mixture to recover a curd. Adding, to the curd, an emulsifier, cooking salt, sodium bicarbonate and a yeast extract and heating them to emulsify. The resultant emulsion is cooled to solidify. An alternative method includes adding to the curd a natural cheese in a ratio of 20 to 90% by weight of the curd to 80 to 10% by weight of the natural cheese. The natural cheese is selected from Grana, Mimolette, Gouda, Edam, Emmental, Gruyere, Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses, and a combination thereof. Mixing the curd and natural cheese and adding an emulsifier, cooking salt, sodium bicarbonate and yeast extract. The mixture is heated to emulsify and cooled to solidify.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to offer a method for producing cheese without fermentation and ripening steps, enabling the production in a short time, while also producing cheese having a similar flavour and texture to cheese which has passed through fermentation and ripening, despite not passing through these steps. This method comprises steps of adding vinegar or acidulant to milk and mixing them, removing whey from a resultant mixture to recover a curd, adding, to said curd, an emulsifier, cooking salt, sodium bicarbonate and a yeast extract and heating them to emulsify, and cooling a resultant emulsion to solidify.
