Processed cheese, also referred to as prepared cheese, cheese product, plastic cheese, or cheese singles, is a food product derived from natural cheese and various additional ingredients. This type of cheese often includes emulsifiers, saturated vegetable oils, salt, food colorings, whey, and sometimes sugar, resulting in a wide range of flavors, colors, and textures. The manufacturing process involves blending natural cheese with these additives, allowing for enhanced meltability and a smoother texture. Emulsifiers such as sodium phosphate, tartrate, citrate, or potassium phosphate are key components that prevent fat separation and ensure a creamy consistency. This unique formulation makes processed cheese particularly desirable for cooking applications, sauces, and as a versatile ingredient in various culinary creations.
