Process Cheese

Store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. Shelf life can vary depending on the specific product and packaging.

Process cheese melts very smoothly, making it ideal for sauces and dips.

It holds its shape well when baked, so it's great for casseroles.

For a classic grilled cheese, use slices of process cheese for quick and even melting.

Bread (for sandwiches)

Tortillas (for nachos or quesadillas)

Crackers

Potatoes

Pasta

Ground meat

Overheating process cheese can cause it to become oily or separate.

Don't expect the complex flavor profile of aged natural cheeses; process cheese is designed for different qualities.
