Low melt cheese can take the heat

Dairy ingredients manufacturer Meadow Cheese has launched a low melt processed cheese which is designed for use inside savoury pastries and flans as well as products that contain dough or crumb as an ingredient.

The low melt processed cheese is made with natural cheese but developed to withstand baking at high temperatures or for a long period of time, without losing its shape, consistency and form.

This makes it a suitable ingredient for bakery products where the cheese needs to be retained within a pastry casing, such as filled savoury pastries and pork pies with a cheese layer. It can also be used with breaded snacking products such as cheese and ham kievs or stuffed chillis.

The product would also be suitable as a filling for stuffed pizza crusts, since it has been designed to offer good stretch and hold.

The high natural cheese content of Meadow Cheese's low melt processed cheese means that it retains a real cheese flavour, but without the inconsistency of natural cheese. This means manufacturers have the reassurance of a consistent taste and product performance.

Meadow Cheese's low-melt processed cheese is available to manufacturers in block format, grated, diced or in chubbs.
