This work deals with the problem of flavour of Edam cheeses, i.e. natural hard cheese with low heat curd. The samples came from dairy MILTRA B s. r. o. Městečko Trnávka. A number of aroma active substances contribute to flavour of cheese. From the chemical point of view they are volatile compounds, including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, fatty acids, esters, lactones, terpenes etc. Their content increases during ripening by influence of proteolytic and lipolytic changes and creates aroma, which is characteristic for type of cheese. The development of these components was monitored in chosen Edam cheese (30 % fat in dry matter) by headspace-SPME/GC method. The fiber CARTM/PDMS 85 µm was used for extraction of aroma compounds. The samples were taken from cheesemilk up to technologically ripe cheese. In total 30 aromatic compounds were identified, their content increased during ripening. The first increase was observed after pressing and then especially in second part of ripening. For comparison Edam cheese samples were also sensorially evaluated during ripening. The ordinal scale and profile tests were used for evaluation of organoleptic properties (appearance, texture, taste, aroma). The sensory quality was improved during ripening, but significant changes were not observed with regard to fine taste and smell of Edam cheese given by globally low content of aroma active compounds.
