When hitting a fast-food restaurant for your sandwich or burger fix, most of us can’t skip a slice of melty, yellow American cheese on top. There’s something about the creamy texture that just hits right. What you may not realize, however, is that so-called 'cheese' is not what you think. Not technically, anyway.
“Real cheese is made with four ingredients: milk, culture, rennet, and salt, ” explains award-winning cheesemaker Allison Lakin, owner of Lakin’s Gorges Cheese in Maine. 'Processed cheese can contain some real cheese, but then has additives that make them shelf stable and more melty, and cost much less than real cheese.”
But just because it's not the genuine article doesn't necessarily mean you should skip this topping. “Sometimes nothing hits the spot like that melted Kraft single,” Lakin says.
