White American Cheese"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

American cheese<\/a> and white American cheese are two very common processed cheese<\/a> products found in grocery stores and delis across the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they share some similarities, there are distinct differences between traditional American cheese<\/strong> and white American cheese<\/strong> in terms of ingredients, production methods, appearance, texture, taste, uses, nutritional content, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"American<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

American cheese<\/strong> refers to a processed cheese product<\/a> made by blending natural cheeses like cheddar, Colby, and Monterey Jack with other ingredients like emulsifiers, extra whey, milk proteins, and stabilizers. This produces the smooth, uniform texture American cheese is known for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White American cheese<\/strong> is a variety of American cheese made using the same process but with subtle differences that give it a lighter color. It contains no artificial colors or dyes. Both belong to a category of products known as \"pasteurized prepared cheese products.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While authentic cheeses must meet legal standards to be labeled as \"cheese,\" American cheese and white American cheese are classified as \"processed cheeses\" since they mix natural cheese with other additives. However, they both contain real cheese in their formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
