Abstract - The preliminary studies on the ripening process of cheese concentrated on the course of the lactose fermentation in cheeses most often produced in Poland, e.g. Tilsit, Gouda, Edam and Emmentaler cheeses.
It follows from the obtained data that lactose fermentation is practically over after 24 to 48 hrs. and that after 72 hrs. there are also other sugars, which means that cheese contains no other fermentative material and which is of great importance in the cheese ripening process
