Happy National Cheese Lovers Day! The love of cheese goes back over 5000 years. Seriously, could you get through your life without a copious amount of cheese? Everything goes better with cheese. It s used for every meal.breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The people at Zippia have put together a list of every state s favorite cheese.
For us here in Maine? We re keeping it simple and patriotic.
AMERICAN is Maine s favorite cheese. Where American cheese (or Pasteurized Process American Cheese, as the FDA likes to call it ) differs is that once the cheese is made (and yes, American cheese starts with real, honest-to-goodness cheese), it is blended with a few other ingredients to alter its texture and flavor. This is what allows American cheese to melt without breaking or turning greasy the way a traditional cheese does.
