Melted American cheese is a processed cheese product made primarily from a blend of milk, whey, milk fat, and emulsifiers, along with added salts and preservatives for texture and shelf life. Originating in the United States, it is a staple in American cuisine, often featured in grilled cheese sandwiches, burgers, and casseroles. Creamy with a smooth melt, it is prized for its consistency and mild flavor. While it provides protein and calcium, it is also high in sodium and saturated fat, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Due to its processed nature, it lacks the full nutrient profile found in natural cheeses. While convenient and satisfying, prioritizing whole cheeses or low-sodium options can offer a healthier alternative.
