Description

Danbo is a semi-soft, ripened cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk, known for its pale yellow interior, smooth texture, and mild to slightly tangy flavor. As per FSSAI standards, Danbo cheese must comply with specific compositional requirements, including a minimum milk fat content in dry matter and defined moisture limits to maintain its characteristic taste and texture. The cheese typically features small, evenly distributed holes and undergoes a ripening process with the development of a smear-ripened rind, which contributes to its aromatic profile. It may be coated with wax or other permitted materials to aid in maturation and preservation. Danbo must be free from non-dairy fats, starches, and any unauthorized additives. It is suitable for slicing, melting, or table use and must meet FSSAI’s microbiological and hygiene standards, ensuring its safety for direct consumption. Proper refrigeration and hygienic packaging are essential to maintain its quality throughout shelf life.
