Súhrn: May bryndza cheese, a type of Slovakian bryndza cheese with a status of Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), produced from raw ewes’ milk, was characterized in one season in 7 specialized factories regarding the diversity of bacteria, yeasts and fungi, and regarding aroma-active volatile compounds. The culture-based microbiological analysis showed that all samples contained high numbers of lactococci, lactobacilli and Galactomyces/Geotrichum. Polymerase chain reaction-based identification classified most of lactobacilli as Lactobacillus paracasei and Lb. plantarum, and most of lactococci as Lactococcus lactis. Culture-independent analysis revealed that the most abundant bacteria were Lactococcus spp. followed by Streptococcus spp. and Leuconostoc spp. The eukaryotic microflora was composed mainly of Galactomyces/Geotrichum, and yeasts Yarrowia lipolytica, Kluyveromyces lactis and Debaryomyces hansenii. Regarding aroma-active volatiles, 28 compounds were detected by gas chromatography-olfactometry with acetic acid, ethyl acetate, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2,3-heptanedione, pentanoic acid and 2,4-dimethyl-1-heptene being present in all samples. Other widely detected compounds were decanoic acid, 3-methylbutanal, butanoic acid, heptanoic acid, tentatively identified 4-octanone, tentatively identified 2,4-dimethyl undecane and tentatively identified 1-dodecanol. The results showed that microbial diversity and principal aroma-active compounds did not markedly differ among individual producers from different geographic regions, which was positive in terms of PGI definition of this cheese.
