High pressure affects the rheological properties of cheese which is important for consumers. Juan et al.
(2007) conducted a sensory study on ewe milk cheese treated with high pressures and concluded that above 400 MPa, the sensory results were poor but improved if the cheese was undergoing the ripening process.
Furthermore, EvertArriagada et al. (2012) concluded that high pressure caused only slight changes in some sensory characteristics (colour and firmness), and that more studies were necessary to produce safe and high-quality cheeses.
