Pickled soft cheese was made from recombined milk (30 % total solids, 8 % fat) containing buttermilk powder (0–4%) and stored in the pickle at room temperature (25±5 °C) for 135 d. The yield, quality and composition of cheese were followed periodically during storage. The addition of buttermilk slightly increased the yield and improved the flavour intensity of the cheese, whilst only slightly affecting its chemical composition.
