English term or phrase: cheese functionality
 Understanding how cheese maturation contributes to cheese functionality.
 Customers want the flavour and functionality of Los Lagos cheese. Tengo estas dos frases y realmente no se me ocurre cómo traducir functionality. No es funcionalidad.

las características del queso
Explanation:
I do completly agree with Teju in the proper use of the term cheese functionality. Funcionality of the cheese means that it has the proper characteristics for specific applications.
Not every cheese works well with Pizza or Spaguetti.
Of course, for regular people like me talking about "cheese functionality" has not an obvious meaning so we would prefer to change it for characteristics. If the document is intended for technical purposes functionality should be preserved as funcionalidad.

funcionalidad


Explanation:
Andrea, ya se que no te gusta esta opcion, pero encontré muchos enlaces sobre la fabricación del queso y usan esta acepción.

El presente trabajo se tipifica como un estudio de casos, enmarcado dentro del estudio colectivo de fincas, en los asentamientos Santa María del Carira, Castellón, microparcelas de la UALA y el Púlpito, de los Municipios García de Hevia y Panamericano del estado Táchira. El fue realizado en un universo de 83 productores dedicados a la explotación con vacunos de doble propósito, de los cuales se seleccionaron 12 unidades aparentemente homogéneas para un estudio de estructuras y funcionalidad tecnológica. La información se recopiló mediante el llenado de una encuesta diseñada para tal fin, de los informes técnicos trimestrales y anuales del convenio


Universidad Nacional Experimental del Táchira (UNET) - Fondo de Crédito Agropecuario (FCA) - Instituto de Crédito Agropecuario (ICAP), de los registros de las fincas, revisión directa del ganado y muestreo del componente forrajero.

The present work is a study of case, on farms which are the smallholder developments of \"Santa María del Carira\", \"Castellon\", \"UALA\" and \"El Pulpito\", located at the municipalities of \"García de Hevia\" and \"Panamericano\" of by Tachira State. From a total of 83 cattle farms, dedicated to the dual purpose production (milk-meat), 12 were selected by their apparent homogeneity, to study its technological structure and functionality. The basic information was collected by mean of a survey to farmers, which included farm records, forages, cattle inspection as well as technical and annual reports from \"Universidad Nacional Experimental del Táchira\" (UNET), \"Fondo de Crédito Agropecuario (FCA), and \"Instituto de Crédito Agropecuario\" (ICAP).
