Seasonal changes in the composition ofbulk raw ewe's milk used f or Idiazabal cheese manufacture
2001
Seasonal changes in the composition of bulk raw ewe’s milk used for Idiazabal cheese manufacture and its influence on the cheese yield are reviewed. This review is based on biochemical and microbiological data previously published on the composition ofa bulk raw ewe’s milk collected at three different times ofthe year. In order to characterize, in a more extensive perspective, the seasonal changes in the composition ofthis bulk raw ewe’s milk and its influence on actual cheese yield, multivariate statistical analyses were applied to the compositional data ofthe milk and the actual cheese yield obtained at the f The results show pronounced seasonal changes in the composition ofbulk raw ewe’s milk. Changes in cheese yield, lipolytic activity and microbiological quality of the bulk raw ewe’s milk are the principal aspects seasonally affected during the cheesemaking period. Also, the seasonal changes observed in the bulk raw ewe’s milk composition strongly affect the quality ofIdiazabal cheeses manuf actured over the cheesemaking period. r 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
