“Kars (a city in the east of Turkey) gruyere cheese” is made from high-fat cow’s milk. In traditional production only natural yeasts (obtained from calf stomach) are used. Fermented milk coagulates after about 45 minutes. It is mixed gently at low temperatures. Pressing is done after obtaining an acceptable consistency. After salting process (takes 8-9 days) it is kept for 10-13 days in rooms with 28-30 ° C and 85-90% humidity. At the end of this period, the cheese begins to ripen. (Takes 3-4 months) Propionibacterium shermanii is responsible for the formation of pores, which are typical of gruyere cheeses.
