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?

“Kraft marks a perfectly good real American cheese, but not all stores carry it.”
Although I’ll deny it later, I buy “American Cheese” from Sams (in 5 lb. bricks, sliced, but not separately wrapped). It says “Cheese”, not “Cheese Food”, not “Cheese Product”.
So it is actually real ‘cheese’ or is it too inexpensive to be real ‘cheese’, per FR standards at least?
LOOK OUT!!! HERE COMES RAQUEL WELCH!!!

Best cheese ever.
It’s https://www.cheesebros.com/ , cheesebrothers.com is for sale.
It is not an oil based processed product any more then any other cheese is.
Quit being a snob.
it isn’t about being a snob. Why take real cheese and belnd it with other products just so it doesn’t crumble when you slice it? It is the cheese equivalent of spam. Good for kids and when you want a quick meal, but not something that should go in a decent recipe. Sort of the opposite of using premium gas in my Chevy Malibu.
Guess you are in SE Wisconsin. Yes, Pick N Save roast beef brands are gross. Turkey Store brand use to be good for deli meat, but I can’t seem to find it anymore.
Yummy!
I think the producers are adding the equivalent of sawdust in the bread, chicken, bread etc.

Kraft brags their parmesan cheese has “no filler” but it contains “cellulose Powder to prevent caking”.
“Cellulose Powder” is sawdust.
Yummy.
“White Cheddar Horseradish, and the 3 Pepper Hot Cheese”
Yup and Yup... Tasty. I would add their Provolone to the list of good cheeses. Nice bite to it as Provolone should have.
Thank you! I will try that sometime.
The melting of a food item (as you’re chewing it) affects its “mouth feel,” which is crucially important to the overall eating experience. I had this conversation with an executive from Russell Stover Candies when we were discussing the development of chocolates that don’t melt. He told me the non-melting chocolates have a mouth feel that is unlike that of ‘conventional’ chocolates because the non-melting stuff releases different elements of taste and feel at different intervals from the regular stuff, so they will never meet the expectations you’ve developed from years of eating old-fashioned chocolates.
In the midwest, most supermarkets carry it, but outside the midwest I think you have to go to Walmart to find it.
American cheese is a regular real cheese.
I am sorry that you rely on propaganda rather then actually learning what goes into making American cheese.
