The present invention relates to a novel cheese-containing heat-stable
composition which can be fried. The composition can be produced using
different cheese types and flavours. In addition to cheese, the use of
maize and/or maize meal is essential in implementation of the invention.
By varying the components, as required, products for different flavour
directions, for example reduced-fat or else sweet or piquant etc., can be
produced. The fried finished product can have the shape of chips and can
also be used as a chip substitute. In the production, the components and
the flavouring ingredients are melted in a suitable melting machine with
intense stirring and brought into the desired shape. After cooling, a
solid composition is formed which can then be fried and is heat stable.
