Abstract
A cheese extender comprised of a congealed mixture of a particular neutralized casein, fat and water. The weight ratios of neutralized casein to fat are from 1:2 to 2:1 and the weight ratios of water to the combination of neutralized casein and fat are from 1:2 to 3:1. The ingredients are heated to at least partially solvate the neutralized casein and then cooled to form the congealed mixture which closely resembles mozzarella cheese in texture, mouth-feel and blandness.
