Aha ha ha. Another bait post.

However if you are making Macaroni with Cheese, microwave some of this stuff cubed up, stir the liquid with a bit of milk and white pepper for a better cheese sauce that comes in the box.

>>14775446
Epic bait, bro. Are you banned from Redd/int/?

Why are there creases in it? Why is it shiny? It's not even proper cheese, is it?

Jarlsberg is looked down upon but Inlove to make a few thin slices and put it between by fried egg when I fold it over.

>Why are there creases in it?
it was wrapped in foiled paper.
>It's not even proper cheese, is it?
it's made with whey so it legally can't be called cheese in the US, but it taste like smooth slightly smokey cheddar.

>>14776288
It's called "Processed Cheese Food" for a reason.

It's similar to the individually wrapped cheese slices you can buy in the US, but has the ability to make cheese sauce quite easily. It's... Low quailty as compared to much else.

Interestingly, it's been around a very long time, used to come in wooden boxes, not cardboard. Many children of the 20's 30's 40's and 50's had wooden Velveeta Pencil boxes at school.

How long was it aged in the foil wrapper? Where did the smokey flavor come from? How cheap is this rubbish?

My sister used to work on a farm in Vermont, not as a farmer but as an educator for school visits and stuff. She always sent cheese back home, though, and this was the best.

>>14777496
Bet your sister has had her cheddar smoked a few times in Vermont.

>>14777436
Like 4 bucks a brick, the smoky flavour likely comes from some added amino or something

>>14776307
The nice thing about velveeta is you can mix it with real cheese to make smooth, creamy cheese sauces with a lot of flavor.

Im sure it was gouda

Maybe 20 years ago. Velveeta is $6.99 here on sale. It's normal price is $7.49 - $7.99.

>>14775446
Isn't that shit just hydrogenated soybean oil and cheese flavoring?

>>14779486
Margarine with whey flavouring yeah.

>>14779486
>>14779497
There's no oil in Velveeta.

>>14779462
>It's normal price is $7.49 - $7.99.
Just buy the store brand, aldi has it for $4 a brick. I cant image why anyone would pay $8 for this shit

>>14779486
>>Kraft Foods lists Velveeta's ingredients as: milk, water, whey, milk protein concentrate, milkfat, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, and 2% or less of salt, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid, sodium citrate, sodium alginate, enzymes, apocarotenal, annatto, and cheese culture.

So, no it's not. It's a highly over-processed milk product.

>>14779508
Yeah I've been buying the Aldi stuff for a few years. Recently tried the Kroger knockoff and that's pretty good as well for $4.

>>14779510
a highly over-processed product based on what out lawyers and chemists inform us can currently legally be referred to as milk (in the United States of America only, other standard and regulations may apply in foreign nations, warning do no bring on aircraft as bomb sniffing dogs may occasionally misidentify as plastic explosives).

>>14775919
Jarlsberg is fucking good, I don't understand the hate

>>14779551
I seldom have any need for Velveeta when on an aircraft, however I shall bear this warning in mind.

>>14775446
This is my favorite cheese for making dips like chili cheese or nacho.

>>14775446
For me, it's Neufchâtel. Quite good fresh but the inside is not completly done. You must unwrap it and let it ils and dry for 2-3 weeks. The you have a uniform core and a powerful yet sweet taste. Sorry, i'm a shitty frog. Will cont. Eventually

>>14779693
>>14775446
Then, there's this shit. No, no no, THE shit. It's Comté. But not any comté. The 36 months ripen or cured comté. The cheese is dryer but more salty, more intense. The little crystals of salts melts in your mouth while thé crumbly texture of the comté develops on your tongue

>>14779462
I swap the velveeta brick into the storebrand box to get it cheap.
