What it is

A blend of semi-soft cheeses, often including cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby. These cheeses are typically made from pasteurized milk, cultures, salt, and enzymes. The blend is designed to provide a specific melting and flavor profile for food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use this blend to add a cheesy flavor and creamy texture to processed foods. Its good melting properties make it ideal for canned soups, pasta dishes, and sauces. It helps create a richer, more appealing taste and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Cheese blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
