Almost 40 years ago, a cheese-making process was described in which milk was concentrated to the final total solids content of cheese and no whey draining was made after coagulation. This full concentration (FC) process has since been used in soft cheese-making. However in semi-hard and hard cheese-making concentrated whey proteins have had negative effect on cheese flavor and texture and therefore the technique has not been used for these products. Development of filtration techniques has made it possible to fractionate milk components. Concentration of the major cheese components, fat and casein, is possible with microfiltration (MF). The aim of this study was to develop an FC cheese process using MF and evaporation steps. Cheese-making...
