FROZEN CHEDDAR CHEESE
GDT Frozen (for processing)
Frozen Cheddar Cheese (GDT Frozen) from Fonterra is a semi-hard, rindless
cheese with a firm curdy body designed as a functional cheese for processed
cheese applications. GDT Frozen is stored at ≤ -9°C within 72 hours of
manufacture to arrest protein breakdown and flavour development. It retains
the product characteristics of a freshly made Cheddar Cheese and delivers a
consistent high quality protein and bland, slightly lactic flavour.
