A study was undertaken to evaluate how the proteolytic processes during cheese ripening (i.e., cleavage of native caseins, formation of medium-sized and smaller peptides and free amino acids) have an impact on the development of mouthfeel/texture and taste/aroma of maturing cheeses. Multivariate modelling of relationships between results from biochemical analyses of proteolysis and from sensory profiling of Präst samples (
