L 7164 (R) ABSTRACT The present invention is concerned with a process for preparing a cheese product containing polyol fatty acid polyesters, comprising the following steps: (a) preparing a water and oil containing mixture comprising from 1.2-40 wt.% oil, by combining a fatty composition containing at least 40% polyol fatty acid polyesters by weight of oil with an aqueous composition, (b) homogenizing said mixture so as to obtain a filled milk having an average oil droplet size of less than 20 microns, (c) preparing a cheese milk by combining the filled milk of step (b) and an aqueous composition containing at least 2 wt.% milk protein, (d) adding a starter culture and/or coagulant to the cheese milk and leaving it to coagulate (e) optionally cutting the coagulum to provide curd particles in whey, and (f) separating the whey from the curd. The present process offers the advantage that it enables the preparation of cheese products wherein a substantial amount of milk fat has been replaced by polyol fatty acid polyesters without any significant adverse effect on the quality of the final product. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a cheese product containing more than 4 wt.% polyol fatty acid polyesters and more than 6 wt.% triglycerides, the total fat present in the cheese having an N10 value of more than 25 and essentially all triglycerides originating from milk fat.
