Resumen
[EN] Blue cheeses are those whose matrix is veined with a blue, blue-grey, or blue-green colour
due to the development of Penicillium roqueforti. There are more than 45 varieties of blue cheese
produced worldwide, with some distinct features, although the manufacture process is similar.
In addition to P. roqueforti, complex microbial populations interact and succeed throughout the
manufacturing and ripening at the cheese’s surface (the rind) and interior (matrix). The microbiota
of blue cheeses is made up of a vast array of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms.
Acidification of the curd relies on the action of lactococci and other lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species.
The ripened cheeses’ final quality and shelf-life properties largely depend on the enzymatic systems
of the components of the microbiota, particularly on those of LAB, P. roqueforti, and yeast species.
Proteolysis is the most complex and important primary biochemical process involved in blue-veined
cheeses during ripening, with P. roqueforti being considered the main proteolytic agent. Lipolysis is
also strong, originating, among other compounds, ketones, which are the main aroma compounds in
blue-veined cheeses. In addition, several bioactive compounds are produced during ripening. The
biochemical activities, mainly of microbial origin, are responsible for the sensory characteristics of
these very appreciated cheese varieties worldwide
