The invention concerns a method for making a cheese product by processing an initial substance consisting of a cheese, comprising the following steps: a) thermal and mechanical treatment such as stirring the initial cheese fractionated into pieces, at a temperature less than 60 DEG C, to break down the initial cheese protein structure in a limited way; b) cooling the mixture of step a) to a temperature less than 50 DEG C to start building up the protein structure and to constitute a stable emulsion of fats with the initial cheese other constituents; c) if required, mechanically treating the paste obtained at b) in a worm device to complete the building up of the protein structure and stabilise the emulsion; and d) shaping the paste resulting from step c). The method is characterised in that steps a) and b) are carried out by adding to the initial cheese product a mixture comprising an emulsifying and chelating agent of calcium and sorbic acid or a salt thereof.
