The invention provides a method of selecting the suitability of a lighting device (100) for use in cheese lighting, the method comprising (a) defining a normalization factor (k) for a spectral power distribution (SPD(λ)) of lighting device light (101) of said lighting device (100) in a wavelength range of 380-780 nm, (b) defining the lighting device (100) suitable for use in cheese lighting when a cheese damage function value (CDFV) is equal to or below 2, wherein the cheese damage function value (CDFV) is defined as: (I) wherein: (II) wherein y̅ (λ) is a 2-degree color matching function, and wherein DF(λ)=1 for 380 nm ≤ λ < 410, and wherein for 410 ≤ λ ≤ 780: (III).
