fat-free cheese
Lipid-removed dairy product
Fat-free cheese is cheese manufactured with no fat content, typically by using skim milk and additives to approximate the texture of regular cheese.
The result rarely melts or tastes like its full-fat counterpart: The fat-free cheese turned rubbery in the microwave.
A staple of 1990s diet culture, now less common as attitudes toward dietary fat have shifted.
