Pasteurized process cheese food is prepared in much the
same manner as process cheese, except that it contains less cheese, with
nonfat dry milk, or whey solids and water added. This results in a lower
milkfat content and more moisture than in process cheese. Pasteurized
process cheese food also may contain pimentos, fruits, vegetables or
meats, or may have a smoked flavor. Cheese food has milder flavor and
softer texture. It spreads more easily and melts more quickly than process
cheese. The most popular variety is pasteurized process American cheese
food, packaged in slices, rolls, links and loaves. It may be used any
place where process cheese is used, although it is not likely to add as
much cheese flavor.
