About Pasteurized process cheese
Pasteurized process cheese is made by heating and blending cheese with emulsifying ingredients to produce a uniform product; the cheeses and proportions used can vary. It is commonly sold in slices, blocks, or wrapped portions, with a smooth, cohesive texture designed to soften or melt evenly.
Its colour and flavour vary with the cheeses and other ingredients in the formulation, so no single flavour profile applies to every product. It is used in sandwiches, sauces, and cooked foods, or eaten directly. This broad category is distinct from natural cheese and from more specifically named process cheese foods or spreads.
