Abstract: A method for producing an acidified milkbase is disclosed, comprising the steps of: providing a milk-based solution of a milk raw material and an ideal whey protein solution; pasteurizing the milk-based solution to provide a pasteurized milk-based solution; cooling the pasteurized milk-based solution to provide a cooled milk-based solution; adding a coagulant to the cooled mixture and ripening to provide the acidified milk-based product. The milk base is used in the production of acidified milk product, such as quark, fresh cheese, yoghurt or viili. The acidified milk products have desirable organoleptic properties, such as fresh taste and soft, velvety texture.
