About Pasteurized process American cheese

Pasteurized process American cheese is a processed cheese product made by blending and heating cheese with emulsifying ingredients. It is usually smooth, uniform and pale yellow to orange, with a mild, savoury flavour. It is commonly sold as slices, blocks or individually wrapped portions, which may differ in moisture and formulation.

It melts readily and is used in sandwiches, burgers, sauces and other cooked foods. The name identifies a processed cheese style but not a single recipe; products vary in cheese content, emulsifying salts, added dairy ingredients and salt.
