Summary

Blocks of Cheddar cheese ranging in weight from ¾ to 44 lb were vacuum-wrapped and stored for up to 6 weeks. Panel assessment after 0, 3 and 6 weeks showed that the quality decreased, and off-flavours increased with decrease in block size. Headspace analysis showed that the volatile substances H2S and CH3SH decreased in concentration in line with quality.
