Abstract
This invention is directed to a cream cheese product prepared in a process which does not involve whey separation and does not require fermentation. The wheyless process of the invention permits the production of cream cheese products containing more than about 65 percent moisture with a high whey protein/casein ratio (e.g., about 60/40 or higher) and with desirable firmness even without the addition of gum.
