ABSTRACT
Bacteriophage contamination during cheese making at levels which restricted starter growth in the final stages of manufacture without markedly affecting acid production had a striking effect on cheese flavor, especially intensity of bitterness. Results from experiments using milk cheese infected deliberately with bacteriophage provided evidence that the starter streptococci have a direct role in the development of bitter flavor in cheese.
