About Pasteurized process cheddar cheese

Pasteurized process Cheddar cheese is a processed cheese made by heating and blending Cheddar cheese, often with emulsifying salts; exact recipes and proportions vary. It is sold in forms such as slices, blocks, and individually wrapped portions, with a smooth, uniform body rather than the crumbly or layered texture of many natural Cheddars.

Its colour ranges from pale to deeper yellow-orange, and its flavour is typically mild to sharp depending on the cheese used and the formulation. It can be eaten as supplied or melted into sauces, sandwiches, and cooked dishes. The term identifies a Cheddar-based processed cheese, not natural Cheddar or every product labelled simply processed cheese.
