Some Properties of Fresh and Ripened Herby Cheese, a Traditional Variety Produced in Turkey

Herby cheese (Otlu peynir) is widely produced and consumed in eastern parts of Turkey, and is generally made from sheep milk. The objectives of this study were to determine some properties of fresh and ripened herby cheese samples. Samples (20 fresh and 20 ripened) of herby cheese were collected fro...

Higher levels of dry matter, salt, fat and titratable acidity (%) were found in ripened cheeses.
