Summary

The temperature, percentage of moisture and pH were determined at 28 different positions in cheese blocks after 0, 1, 2, 6 and 10 days of cooling at 2.2 deg C and at 15 different positions in cheese blocks after 0, 0.5, 1 and 2 days of cooling at 2.2 deg C. It took 12 days for the center of blocks to reach 2.2 deg C. Milk fat appeared to affect cooling rate. After 1 day, pH and moisture gradients were reversed and were lower in interior regions.
