Kraft processed cheese slices are thin slices of cheese made from a homogeneous blend of natural cheeses, milk fats, and other stabilizing and emulsifying ingredients. This type of processed cheese is known for its smooth texture, easy meltability, and creamy flavor, making it ideal for preparing sandwiches, hamburgers, and other dishes that require a cheese that melts evenly.
Kraft processed cheese originated in the United States, developed in the early 20th century with the intention of extending the cheese's shelf life and improving its stability for industrial and commercial consumption. Since then, it has become popular internationally and is widely used in home cooking and the fast-food sector due to its convenience and versatility.
Among its main properties, its long shelf life, easy handling, and incorporation into various recipes without losing flavor or texture stand out. However, it is important to consider that it may contain additives and preservatives that differ from artisanal or natural cheeses.
Regarding synonyms in Spanish from Latin America, depending on the country, this product can be called queso americano en rebanadas, queso loncheado, queso en láminas, or simply queso procesado en rebanadas. In Mexico, for example, it is common to refer to it as "queso americano" due to its origin and typical use in hamburgers.
