Heres what I found.
What Is American Cheese?
Because American cheese is not made like cheese, its typically labeled a processed cheese product or cheese food.
What Makes Sargento American Cheese Natural?
So what exactly is in Sargentos new American cheeseand how is it a natural version?
First, its made with a fraction of the ingredients used in its competitors.
Sargentos version includes just five ingredients: pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes and vegetable coloring.
But how does it taste?
Our food editorAlex Lohrecently tried the new product, and she gives it a thumbs-up.
“This cheese definitely reminds me of American cheese, but it feels and tastes real, Loh says.
Other American cheese can sometimes feel like plastic and have an artificial taste, but Sargento doesn’t.
If youre looking for a more natural version of American cheese, Sargentos newest product is up your alley.
