Processed cheese is a versatile dairy product made from a blend of natural cheese, emulsifiers, and other ingredients. Originating in the United States, it gained popularity for its creamy texture and easy melting qualities, making it a staple in sandwiches, burgers, and cheesy snacks worldwide. While it delivers convenience and long shelf life, it often contains added preservatives and higher sodium levels, which can be less healthy in excess. However, it provides calcium and protein, making it a tasty option when enjoyed in moderation.
