For those who are not aware, ^^this^^ is how you turn cheese into american cheese. (Though I think they just use milk or water, not butter. Maybe it wouldn’t taste like shit if they used butter)
I love different types of cheese, but on a burger the more important thing is the quality of the beef. Only time I don’t mind American cheese. Plus it melts just right.
Cow Milk is white.
Orange cheese is colored with annato. (Yes, yellow cheddar is colored with annato or other coloring. Same with yellow American cheese)
Natural unaged cheese color is the same as milk, white or a light off white.
well, i live in central europe, where cheese is still a natural product (unlike whatever the hell is called “cheese” in america), and i’ve never seen cheese that’s the same color as milk (on the inside, below the crust). it’s mostly yellow or yellow-white.
I think the key word was unaged. Cheese tends to become yellow when aged, starting very quickly. But stuff like cottage cheese and mozzarella are indeed milk colored
Being in Europe may just mean your cows are fed differently or a different breed.
Here in the US there are also laws about using raw milk vs pasteurized, so typically most milk and milk used for cheese making must be pasteurized, so I think that may cause it to be lighter colored cheese compared to raw milk cheese.
I would be more offended at being served American “cheese”.
Many people swear by american cheese on burgers, but I just can’t do it. Cheddar is far superior.
Some nice mature cheddar, proper stuff from the west country.
Not too mature, need it to melt properly
Combine with butter and sodium citrate to make any cheese meltable.

I assume if it’s on a burger it’s sliced cheese. Was is it white? Do they bleach it?

You are aware that many of your foods still have food coloring right? There are many natural food colorings.
American cheese is barely cheese, and I don’t just mean krafts singles
You are incorrect.
this is one of those hills in willing to die in though.
better to die in this hill than eat American milk based products
Tell that to the people making craft cheddar in Vermont, they’ll have your head.
Instead of getting my head they should try getting some good cheese
Then you are just ignorant. It’s a big country with many food cultures.
just not a good cheese culture.
Clearly no good culture at all wherever your family comes from.
Y’all aren’t even allowed to culture raw milk for proper cheese. And the weirdos who want raw milk are proplague twats.
