Techniques for making a yogurt-cheese-oil product, comprising steps of:
providing a milkfat-oil fluid comprising butterfat and an oil;
pasteurizing the milkfat-oil fluid to produce a cheese-oil precursor;
combining yogurt with the cheese-oil precursor to produce a combined
yogurt-cheese-oil precursor; and homogenizing and acidifying the combined
yogurt-cheese-oil precursor; producing a yogurt-cheese-oil product.
Yogurt-cheese-oil products: comprising between about 10% by weight and
about 80% by weight of total butterfat; comprising between about 2% by
weight and about 52.5% by weight of an oil; comprising between about 10%
by weight and about 50% by weight of yogurt; and yielding less than about
1% syneresis by weight after 15 hours at about 74.degree. F. to about
75.degree. F.
