入手することができる。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, demand for natural cheese has been growing with the westernization of eating habits. Natural cheese is used as it is or as a topping material for gratin, doria, pizza and the like. When using natural cheese as a topping material for gratin, doria, pizza, etc., it is necessary to shred the block-shaped natural cheese into an appropriate shape and size.Recently, various forms of shred cheese are commercially available. And can be obtained according to the purpose of use.

ている（特公平 7-95921号公報）。[0003] The shape of shredded cheese is slightly thin and elongated, although slightly different depending on the purpose of use. Commercially available shredded cheese is obtained by cutting a block-shaped semi-hard cheese such as Gouda cheese and Cheddar cheese into a roughly rectangular parallelepiped, throwing it into a shredder, and shredding the cheese. Is adhered, or the cheese is blocked (the cheeses bind to each other to form a block-like mass) when filling the container after automatic weighing, so that the mechanical suitability is poor. In addition, since cheese blocks during storage, it has to be loosened by hand when used. Therefore, in order to prevent blocking of cheese, powder of dried dietary fiber is sprayed on the surface of shredded cheese (Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-95921).

として使用している。[0004] Ultra-hard cheeses such as Parmesan cheese have a hard and brittle structure compared to semi-hard cheeses such as Gouda cheese and Cheddar cheese, so that it is difficult to shred them into strips industrially. At home, these cheeses are used as granules using tools such as cheese liner and cheese grater.

させる必要があった。Therefore, as a method for producing small piece cheese without using a shredder such as a shredder, for example, a lactic acid bacterium and a milk-clotting enzyme are added to raw milk to form a cheese curd, and the resulting cheese is obtained. The curd is heated at 40 to 60 ° C., then frozen and thawed, stirred to obtain cheese curd particles, and then the obtained cheese curd particles are ripened to obtain small piece cheese (JP-A-10-52223). No.)
Cheese curd from raw milk and raw milk, cut it,
After keeping the temperature at 5.3 to 5.8, the mixture is cooled to remove whey and then ripened without moulding and pressing to obtain small pieces of natural cheese (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-1078).
No. 81) is disclosed. The technique is to freeze and thaw the unripened cheese (cheese curd) to ripen the granular cheese obtained. The technique is to dry, shred and shred the small piece cheese curd and mold and squeeze. Aging cheese without aging. Aged cheese thus prepared by a conventional method must be shredded into small pieces using a shredder or the like, and in order to produce aged small piece cheese, unripe cheese curd is frozen. After thawing, it was necessary to ripen.

ボロと崩れて小片となり、鱗片状チーズが得られる。[0009] Natural cheese can be obtained by cutting a cheese curd prepared from milk, pressing the obtained cheese curd grains one by one to form one block-shaped cheese curd, and aging it. Usually, most of the water in cheese curd is present as bound water hydrated in casein, and this bound water does not become large ice crystals even when cheese curd is frozen. However, as the protein is degraded by aging the cheese curd, the bound water hydrated into casein becomes free water and exudes between the cheeses, forming clusters of free water. When cheese is frozen in this state, free water becomes large ice crystals and the volume expands,
Cracks are generated in the cheese structure, and the cheese structure is easily dissociated. Then, by loosening the thawed cheese by hand or applying light pressure by a machine, the cheese is broken and broken into small pieces to obtain scaly cheese.

ない。As described above, the scaly cheese of the present invention is obtained due to the moisture and ripeness of the block cheese. Therefore, the moisture and ripeness of the cheese are important factors, and in the present invention, the moisture of the cheese before freezing is 38 to
Preferably it is 48% by weight and the ripeness is 30% or more.
If the water content is less than 38% by weight, the expansion of the water content due to freezing becomes insufficient, and scale-like small pieces cannot be obtained. If the ripeness is less than 30%, casein has sufficient water retention capacity, so free water clusters do not form in the cheese,
Even if it is frozen or thawed, it is not preferable because it does not become a blocky cheese which easily breaks into scales when loosened by hand.

After leaving it still for a minute, a cheese curd was obtained. The resulting cheese curd was cut with a 15 mm blade width card knife and gently stirred for 20 minutes to eliminate 1/3 of the generated whey. Immediately thereafter, the mixture of cheese curd and whey was evenly transferred to five vats. Ten minutes after the whey was removed, each mixture of cheese curd and whey was heated while adjusting so that the final temperature reached 38 ° C. at a rate of 1 ° C. every two minutes. Continue stirring while maintaining the temperature level of 38 ° C,
90 minutes after the start of heating, remove all whey,
1.7% by weight of salt was added to the cheese curd and mixed. After that, transfer the cheese curd to a rectangular mold,
The mixture was pressed with a press under a pressure of about 0.3 kg / cm 2 for 2 hours to finally obtain about 15 kg of cheese curd. Each cheese curd was aged at 10 ° C. for 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months to obtain block cheese. The block cheese was frozen at -30 ° C and stored for 3 days. Three days later, it was thawed at 10 ° C. to obtain a frozen and thawed blocky cheese. Using the obtained block-shaped cheese biaxially different-direction rotating kneader, the mixture was gently kneaded at 20 rpm and crashed to obtain scaly cheese. Then, the moisture value and ripeness of the obtained scaly cheese were measured in the same manner as in Example 1. In addition, the ratio of scaly cheese of each cheese, and evaluation of stringiness and flavor were evaluated in Example 1.
