What it is
A blend of two different cheeses, typically used to create a richer and more complex flavor than a single cheese. The specific cheeses can vary but often include common varieties like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cheese blends to enhance the taste and texture of savory foods. They are commonly found in processed cheese products, baked goods like quesadillas and tamales, and as a filling for sandwiches and wraps.
Health notes
Cheese blends are generally recognized as safe by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of protein, calcium, and fat. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of cheese in a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Cheese is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
