Occurrence (100% of samples) of Lactobacillus spp. (Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus casei subsp. pseudoplantarum, being the first one slightly more numerous), and Bacillus licheniformis, which counts were mostly in a 103- 104ufc/g range, and only in 10% of the cases were < 103 ufc/g. Samples did not show signs of deterioration.
