ResumoThe effect of ripening temperature elevation and sampling site on lipolysis in Reggianito Argentino cheese was evaluated. Cheeses ripened at 12 or 18 °C and 85% relative humidity were assayed at 2, 4 and 6 months at two sampling zones (central and external). Samples were analysed to determine physicochemical parameters and the concentration of nine free fatty acids (FFAs) (C6:0–C18:2). Myristic, palmitic, stearic and oleic acids were found in higher concentration. While ripening time and temperature significantly affected the concentrations of the nine FFAs analysed, sampling zone significantly affected only two FFAs. Ripening temperature increased the lipolytic process, but it seems to have no effect on the pathways of lipolysis in Reggianito Argentino cheese.
