The cheese are produced consists of three variants cheese with substitutions using corn oil and rice bran oil as well as control cheese using whole milk, then cheese with the substitution of rice bran oil which used to determine the best flavor using organoleptic test. The results showed that extensive planning and active controlling in production factors such as labor, time usage, equipment capacity, and good quality materials is required in the production process so that can improve the quality of production management. The results of low-fat soft cheese organoleptic test with the addition of a variety of flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, green tea, and soursop shows the acceptance percentage of the parameters of taste, textures, aroma, flavor, and general acceptance ranged from 22%-94% and the best treatment is cheese with strawberry flavor.
