Low Protein Imitation Cheese

Ener-G Imitation Cheddar 900g

Ener-G Low-Protein Imitation Cheddar is made especially for people with phenylketonuria (pku) and other metabolic disorders who need a low protein diet.
Low protein imitation cheeses are non-melting. They will soften with considerable heating, but due to the ingredients (mainly starch and oil) it is not possible for the cheese to melt like normal high protein cheese. It is the protein component of normal cheese that allows it to melt. For pizza it is better to use the cheese shredded. To store frozen it is advised to first shred the cheese. If you add shredded cheese to a liquid for a sauce, you might have better "melting."
