Abstract

A processed cheese-like product containing soy cheese as a part of the major ingredient is made by adding both a casein-containing substance derived from animal milk and a cheese emulsifying melting salt to natural soy cheese and agitating this mixture under relatively high shearing conditions, while heating to an elevated temperature of less than about 85.degree. C, for a period sufficient to form the mixture into a softened, flowable consistency. After pasteurization, the melted or softened mixture is introduced into a suitable container and cooled to produce a processed cheese-like product having superior flavor and texture characteristics.
