Abstract: Cheese is particularly well adapted for certain applications, such as for example as a pizza topping, where there is a need for the cheese to melt and flow when heated. Conversely this property makes cheese particularly unsuited to pan-fried or oven cooked products where shape-retention is important. The aforementioned problem is solved by providing a food composition consisting of: a) 80-90% by weight of a cheese mixture; and b) 10-20% by weight starch, modified starch, cellulose, modified cellulose, gum, carrageenan, pectin, gelatin, agar, calcium cross-linking agents, phosphate cross-linking agents, enzyme cross-linking agents or a mixture thereof, wherein the cheese mixture consists of: c) 50-80% by weight Mozzarella cheese; and d) 20-50% by weight Emmental cheese.
