Quality assessment for increased profitability in production of aged cheese
Project overview
More related research
Short summary
There are several projects going on in the area. One aim is to study the quality and microflora of northern Swedish milk at farm and dairy level, and the impact of this on maturing time and sensoric traits of long-ripened cheese.
The ultimate goal is to secure the quality of the cheese and hence the economy of the milk producers. A report in Swedish can be found here. There also are a number of scientific papers under submission and revision.
The projects are financed by SLF, Kamprad foundation, the Regional Fund for Agricultural Research in Northern Sweden, Norrmejerier and SLU.
