Reduced Fat Cheese Spread

Reduced Fat Cheese Spread

Everyday

Reduced fat cheese spread is a processed dairy product made by blending skim or part-skim milk with emulsifiers and stabilizers to achieve a spreadable consistency while lowering fat content. It provides 25-50% less fat than regular cheese spreads but maintains moderate protein levels, though often with added sodium or gums to compensate for texture changes. This product is popular in low-calorie diets but may lack the complex flavor profile of full-fat cheese due to reduced milkfat content.
