What it is
Three Cheeses is a blend of three distinct types of cheese, often chosen for their complementary flavors and melting properties. The specific cheeses used can vary widely but commonly include varieties like cheddar, Monterey Jack, and cream cheese. They are typically processed and combined to create a uniform cheese product.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use three cheeses to enhance the savory flavor and creamy texture of food products. Its excellent melting characteristics make it ideal for dishes that are baked, grilled, or heated. It is frequently found in frozen meals, baked goods, sauces, dips, and processed cheese products.
Health notes
The FDA considers cheese to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Cheese is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. While generally safe, excessive intake of cheese, particularly full-fat varieties, can contribute to high saturated fat and sodium intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various cheese types and their components, recognizing their role in the diet.
Allergen info
Cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless added ingredients such as wheat flour are present.
