If you recently bought some American cheese and noticed something wrong, you're not alone.
I'm a big Boar's Head fan. Almost every day I have their Ovengold Turkey for lunch. And when it comes to cheese, nothing beats their mild provolone or white American. Recently, however, I was disappointed to find out that there's something different about the American cheese I purchased, and I'm not alone.
Last week, my wife was making her signature scrambled eggs and cheese using Boar's Head whole milk white American cheese when we noticed something strange. Parts of the cheese weren't' melting. No matter how long the cheese was in the pan, it remained hard. The same thing happened the next day with a grilled cheese sandwich. After heating the sandwich as usual, the corners of the cheese were still pointy and hard.
We assumed the deli worker mistakenly sliced the wrong cheese for us, so I threw it out and picked up another pound. But we were surprised to find out that the same thing was happening. Is it possible Boar's Head has quietly changed their recipe? Or could this some sort of manufacturing error?

I remember back in the 70’s when the government gave the warehouse cheese away. My grandmother got some at the senior center. Was some damned good cheese. I believe it was American cheese.

They make head cheese LOL seriously.
Mmmmm, sounds good.
I use it for Philly Cheese Steaks, although Cheese Wiz was the original recipe. Brrrrrrrr...
Provolone in my Philly Cheese Steak please.
Where does one find this gastronomic delight?
Aha! I recently learned we yanks are pronouncing it wrong. We say Gooo-da. In the Netherlands, where it originated, it’s pronounced Gow-da. FWIW. That would be according to The Incredible Dr. Pol, the veterinarian from Holland, via Central Michigan....er, sumthin’ like ‘at.
Yes, Tillamook cheddar is delicious. Publix has both their ice cream and cheeses. They’re a treat.
And while we are on the topic of cheese, People! there is NO ORANGE CHEESE IN MEXICO!!!
I’m with ya.
All Tillamook products are excellent quality! Great ice cream and we always get their cheese.
Bandon was better than Tillamook, back in the 70s, before Tillamook bought them.
Too much sawdust.🙄
Yes, LOL cheese is good.
Why is cheesy goodness always good in the middle of the night?
Oh hell, who are we fooling? It’s good all the time!
