A packaged cheese spread is prepared by mixing a natural, soft-to-medium cheese with an edible fat, a stabilizer and water. During mixing the temperature is brought to a temperature of about 125 DEG to 130 DEG C. at which temperature the mixing is continued for about 2 to about 10 minutes. The mixture is then cooled to from about 75 DEG to 85 DEG C., homogenized and packaged in sealed containers. Cheese spreads prepared in this way have good shelf life and retain the original flavor of the natural cheese. |
