Abstract
ABSTRACTThe aim of the present work was to study the sensorial characteristics of Los Pedroches cheese after freezing, monitoring the effects of the speed and time of frozen storage. Changes were observed in the hardness, creaminess and eyes of cheeses after 3‐months frozen storage. The paste hardened, becoming less creamy, and the number and size of the eyes decreased substantially. However, these attributes remained unchanged during storage periods of up to 9 months. Odor, flavor intensity, acidity and grainy were modified as a consequence of frozen storage. The speed of the freezing process only affected the grainy of the cheese; this was greater in slowly‐frozen cheeses.
