Zusammenfassung:Cooked and homogenized cheese products and methods, using supplemental phospholipids to provide reduced melt restriction and modulate oiling-off. One embodiment provides a cooked cheese product having at least one natural cheese in the range of 20 to 92 percent weight; a protein supplement in the range of 0.25 to 30 percent weight; and a phospholipid supplement in the range of about 0.1 to 1 percent weight; wherein cooked cheese product is homogeneous does not contain significant levels of emulsifying salts. The phospholipid supplement can be in the range of about 0.25 to 1 percent weight, and preferably 0.4 percent weight. Homogenizing the cooked cheese product can be by a pressure in the range of about 70 to 246 Kg/cm.
