About Pasteurized process cheese spread

Pasteurized process cheese spread is a processed cheese product formulated to remain soft and spreadable, commonly made by heating cheese with emulsifying ingredients and other components. Recipes differ, and it may be packaged in tubs, jars, or other containers. Its texture is smoother and softer than that of a firm process cheese block.

The flavour and colour depend on the cheese and other ingredients in the product. It is typically spread on bread or crackers, and may also be used in dips or cooked mixtures. This form is not interchangeable with a firm processed cheese or with every product described as cheese food.
