THE BOTTOM LINE: Fat-free cheese doesn't melt as well as the reduced-fat, but it's great on its own or as a topping for sandwiches and salads. It's fantastic for keeping calorie counts down in recipes that already have a lot of flavor coming from other ingredients, like pizzas and Mexican swaps. The 2% stuff is perfect for adding taste and texture of things made mostly from low-cal and fat-free ingredients
