What it is

Pasteurized process Swiss American cheese is a blend of Swiss and American cheeses that have been heated and mixed with an emulsifier. This process makes the cheese smoother, meltier, and more stable than natural cheese. It is often used in processed foods where consistent texture and meltability are desired.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add pasteurized process Swiss American cheese for its smooth texture, good melting properties, and mild flavor. It is commonly found in frozen breakfast sandwiches, biscuits, prepared meals, and appetizers where it contributes to a creamy and satisfying mouthfeel.
