Block cheese made from melted cheese - and pieces of natural cheese not completely enclosed

摘要

A cheese in the form of a block consists of layers of molten cheese (A) and portions of at least one natural cheese (B) which are not completely enclosed within (A). The dry extract content of (A) is lower than that of (B). Pref. (B) is a blue cheese, specifically mimolette. The block is made by pouring (A) at 80-90 deg.C into a mould and placing layers of (B) between successive layers of (A). The salts present in (A) have sufficient bacteriostatic effect to inhibit further fermentation of (B) even though it is not completely enclosed.
