In the case of varieties not produced, or produced at a lesser amount, during certain periods of the year, generally due to the seasonality in milk production, refrigerated storage of ripe cheese for several months is a must. Since the action of enzymes and microorganisms persists during refrigerated storage of ripe cheese, over-ripening may happen before the product is consumed.
Raw milk cheeses, with pronounced enzyme activity and microbial metabolism associated reactions, are particularly
prone to it. Freezing of ripe cheeses has been investigated to prevent over-ripening and prolong their shelf life.
However,even though their flavour characteristics remained unchanged at thawing, both texture and visual appearance were negatively affected (Tejada et al. 2000; Van Hekken et al. 2005).
