American cheeses
Deli counter staple
American cheeses are processed cheese products made by blending natural cheeses with emulsifiers, creating a smooth, mild, meltable product.
The singular American cheese typically means the sliced variety ubiquitous on burgers and in grilled cheese sandwiches.
More broadly, American cheeses can refer to any cheeses originating in the United States—cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby—though this usage is less common.
