What it is

Skim milk cheese is a type of cheese made from skim milk, which has had most of its fat removed. The process involves curdling the skim milk, separating the curds from the whey, and then processing the curds to form cheese. The resulting cheese is lower in fat and calories compared to cheese made from whole milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use skim milk cheese as a lower-fat alternative to traditional cheese in various food products. It provides a cheesy flavor and texture without the higher fat content. You can find it in snacks, crackers, and some processed cheese products.
