Hi there,

Working on a text about cheese and I'm looking for a catchy way to translate "afinado"

For context: Nuevos queseros están desarrollando nuevos conceptos sobre el afinado y la maduración del queso.

Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
maybe this is the "catchy" word for it!

It's part of the maturing stage of the cheese:

"In a lot of countries cheese is made on the farm or small factories, and then sent to the affineur to mature. It is their job to bring the cheese to its final ready state. In French, the word “Affinage” simply means “to refine”, whether it is inoculating, washing, piercing and turning, making sure they are not too dry, not too wet, have enough air and not too much air. It really is an art, and it all depends on the style of the cheese."

Afinador de quesos

El afinador de quesos, o mejor dicho el maestro afinador de quesos, es un término muy extendido por Europa, no tanto en nuestro país, aunque cada vez empieza a oírse más en las fabricas de quesos y la industria quesera.

Los maestros queseros son expertos, especialistas en conseguir el queso perfecto, ya que para que un queso esté bueno, en su punto, no basta con que su elaboración haya sido artesanal e impecable.

Estos especialistas compran directamente a los productores y someten a los quesos un proceso de afinado, uno diferente para cada tipo y variedad, hasta conseguir el punto perfecto y el momento óptimo para su degustación.

Afinado del queso

El afinado del queso consiste en un proceso mediante el cual el queso original se transforma en un queso terminado mediante transformaciones enzimáticas que acaban determinando el aroma, el sabor, la textura, el aspecto y la consistencia final.

El afinado consta de varios procesos, como el volteo de los quesos para que alcancen la mayor uniformidad posible, el cepillado de los quesos, el pincelado, en el que se aplican diversas materias para la mejor maduración de los quesos, el control de la temperatura y de la humedad de los quesos, y una vez alcanzado el punto óptimo el tipo de embalaje y envoltorio en el que el queso debe ir.

AFFINAGE – The art of aging your cheese gracefully

In a lot of countries cheese is made on the farm or small factories, and then sent to the affineur to mature. It is their job to bring the cheese to its final ready state. In French, the word “Affinage” simply means “to refine”, whether it is inoculating, washing, piercing and turning, making sure they are not too dry, not too wet, have enough air and not too much air. It really is an art, and it all depends on the style of the cheese.

What happens to the cheese in this maturing stage is loss of moisture, proteins breaking down, fats breaking down and the development of rinds, textures and flavours. Cheese is almost like a living thing and should be treated as such. Think of your maturing cheese as a pet, it needs to be looked after and encouraged to age gracefully.
