About Pasteurized process colby cheese

Pasteurized process Colby cheese is a processed cheese made using Colby as its characteristic cheese component, heated and blended with emulsifying ingredients. Formulations vary, and the product may be sold in slices, blocks, or wrapped portions. It generally has a smooth, even body rather than the open, sometimes elastic texture of natural Colby.

The colour is commonly pale yellow to orange, while flavour tends to be mild and buttery, though the blend affects the result. It is used in sandwiches and melted dishes or eaten as supplied. This is a Colby-based processed cheese, not natural Colby and not a generic processed cheese description.
