cheese to form a mixture blending the mixture to achieve an essentially homogenous shredded cheese and packaging the essentially homogenous shredded cheese wherein the calcium sulfate dihydrate is added in an amount sufficient to provide nutritionally supplementation and to provide non agglomerating properties the nutritional supplement of this invention allows preparation of shredded cheeses containing significantly reduced levels of conventional anti caking agents while still maintaining the desired non agglomerating properties in some cases conventional anti caking agents are essentially eliminated application_number US 61851400 A description the present invention provides a method of making a flavorful organoleptically pleasing non agglomerating shredded natural cheese containing a nutritional supplement the nutritional supplement contains calcium sulfate dihydrate which acts both to provide calcium fortification and to significantly reduce the amount of conventional anti caking agents required to provide the desired non agglomerating effect in this method the nutritional supplement is incorporated directly into the shredded natural cheese the natural cheese is prepared using conventional cheese making techniques shredding is also carried out using conventional techniques the natural cheeses employed in the method may be derived from the treatment of any dairy liquid that provides cheese curds upon renneting such liquids include whole milk reduced fat milk skim milk and any such milk further containing added dairy fractions such dairy fractions may be chosen by way of nonlimiting example from cream fractions concentrated milk fractions obtained for example by evaporation diafiltration and or ultrafiltration of milk and comparably treated dairy liquids the dairy liquid employed in.
