In the method of the invention, a mixture of skim milk cheese, a low viscosity bulking agent and an emulsifying salt is provided. The mixture is heated to an elevated temperature of from about 175° F. to about 240° F. The mixture is held at the elevated temperature for a period of from about 0.5 minutes to about 8 minutes to provide a homogeneous molten cheese mass. The cheese mass is then packaged to provide a low tat processed cheese. The low-fat processed cheese of the invention is particularly suitable for the manufacture of processed cheese slices.
