Yeasts
Yeasts are a critical group of microorganisms for the production of certain food products in the milk and dairy industry. Their contribution is essential to achieve the right structure and aroma of certain cheeses and fermented milk.
The main purpose served by yeasts is their significant contribution to the final properties of some products, such as kefir and gorgonzola (Saccharomyces Spp. can be used for both products).
The activity of yeasts in the above-mentioned products occurs in combination with those of other microorganisms or ingredients used in production.

Moulds
Moulds are essential ingredients for the production of cheeses and other food products with typical aesthetic and organoleptic characteristics (such as, for example, cheese with a floral crust). Through proteolysis and lipolysis processes, the moulds contribute strongly to the formation of the aroma, the final structure and the appearance of the cheeses that contain them.
Lipase
Pregastric lipase is an enzyme used to enhance the flavour of cheeses, enriching them with distinctive aromas. Lipases of veal give a sweet and slightly spicy taste, those of lamb give a more pronounced flavor while lipases of kid provide a strong and spicy taste.
