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?

“Cheese food” is what they feed the cheese monster to make “cheese product”.
T M bloody I!
Boar’s Head American cheese is quite good for burgers and grilled cheeses. Shame if they ruined it.
Milk is separated into curds and whey, solid and liquid. The curds are used to make real cheese. Then the whey is boiled, and you get another solid — mozzarella/string cheese. Finally, the liquid that is left is mixed with vegetable oil and emulsifiers, and called “American cheese”.
It’s not cheese.
Give me the provolone.
*ew*
But Land o Lakes american cheese, the one that used to have the Indian Squaw on the cover.
Well, the post I replied to was talking about cutting the cheese.
Elizabeth Warren should be on the cover now.
I never buy Boar’s Head anything. Tastes like crap.
...or Hautly.
Not even Boar’s Head, Head Cheese?
ALL Boar’s Head products are terribly expensive.
I think “cheese food” is vile. One has to look very carefully, since almost all the choices are cheese food. Kraft marks a perfectly good real American cheese, but not all stores carry it.
The Blazing Buffalo Chicken Breast is deeeelicious!
With a slice of Boars Head jalapeno pepper jack.
Yum!
Balderson’s aged cheddar (yellow or white) is fo’shizzle mah nizzle!
Tillamook is pretty good, but there is something in the background I can’t place when I eat it, and I don’t like that.
And that stuff referred to as “American” cheese may be American, but it most certainly is NOT cheese!
