About Pasteurized process pimento cheese

Pasteurized process pimento cheese is a processed cheese product combining cheese with pimento or pimiento pepper, with formulations that may include additional ingredients. The name alone does not establish a fixed recipe. It may be sold as a cohesive block or other packaged form, with a smooth or slightly textured body depending on the pepper and preparation.

The flavour combines cheese with sweet, mild pepper notes, although seasoning and texture vary among products. It can be eaten as supplied, spread, or used in cooked preparations. This is distinct from a plain pasteurized process cheese and from a specifically labelled pimiento cheese spread; the terms do not guarantee identical formulations.
