Abstract: | Bryndza is a natural, white, mature and spreadable kind of cheese, and since 2008, it has been manufactured in specified mountainous areas of the Slovak Republic with Protected Geographical Indication. The aim of this work was to provide useful information about the microbial, physico‐chemical and sensory characteristics of bryndza, taking into consideration the variabilities related to the traditional methods of production technology of three bryndza cheese varieties. Statistically significant differences were observed in bryndza cheese production methods in chemical parameters of NaCl and malondialdehyde content (P < 0.05) and in the microbial presence of Enterococcus spp. (P < 0.001) and Staphylococcus spp. (P < 0.01). |
