Provided is a cheese, which can be easily crushed in the mouth and yet shows a less sticky texture in the mouth, prepared by crushing a hard-type natural cheese that is hard to eat (for example, extra-hard cheese, hard cheese, semi-hard cheese, etc.) with a meat chopper or the like, and then pressurizing and reshaping the crushed cheese so as to give a flexibility of 7.5 mm or less and an adhesiveness of 4.0×10-3 N·m or less. Also provided is a method for producing the cheese. Thus, novel reshaped cheese products, which are characterized by having remarkably improved meltability and texture in the mouth while sustaining the matured taste characteristic to the existing hard-type and semi-hard-type natural cheeses, can be provided to the market. |
