Five batches of Zamorano cheesewere produced with pasteurized ewe’s milk. One batch was elaborated using milk from the Churrabreed, the other using milk from the Assaf breed, and the remaining three employed milk mixturesof Churra and Assaf breeds in the proportions 75:25, 50:50 and, 25:75, respectively. Cheeses madewith a higher proportion of Churra milk showed a predominance of hydrophilic peptides, whilehydrophobic peptides predominated in cheeses with a greater percentage of milk from the Assafbreed. The largest content of most free amino acids was found in cheeses produced with the highestpercentage of Churra milk. These cheeses presented the highest values for fat acidity index and freefatty acids content and showed greater elasticity and adhesiveness, as well as lower granularity andhardness. In the sensory evaluation, aftertaste and persistence were higher in these cheeses, beingscored with the best overall values.
