What Does Part Skim Mean?

In general, skim cheese can mean that some fat has been removed from the milk. Most full-skim cheeses are made as aged cheeses and tend to be harder and grainier than whole milk cheeses because the fat that would have made them soft has been removed from the milk. In whole milk cheeses, fat balances the proteins in emulsification, but when there's not enough fat to provide this balance, the proteins can form grainy deposits. With Jarlsberg cheese, some of the fat is left in the milk. This is why Jarlsberg has its signature soft, smooth and creamy flavor and texture and melts so perfectly.
