Market challenge
Making reduced-fat cheeses of premium quality can be a challenge. A flavorless sensation of rubber in one’s mouth has often been the result when natural fats are reduced, leading to moderate commercial success for cheese producers that wanted to pursue the opportunities in this growing segment. Consumers, however health-oriented they may be, are unwilling to compromise on taste. But over 50% of consumers globally would buy reduced-fat cheese, if the quality was better (Euromonitor International 2015).
