Description
What is lipase for cheese making?
Lipase is used in home cheese making of long and medium-ripening cheeses, where a more aromatic “spicy” flavor is required, like Italian cheeses, as well as some feta and blue cheeses.
Lipase is one of the many enzymes that are present in raw milk. The enzymes attach themselves to the fat globes of the liquid and break them down, which then causes the fatty acids to be released. This creates the aroma, texture and sharp taste common and desired in these cheeses. Lipase enzyme overall enhances the flavor of those cheeses. If you make these cheeses from pasteurised milk it’s a good idea to add lipase as the enzymes get destroyed during pasteurisation. Read more on lipase on curd nerd.
