American Chees is just Swiss that hasn't aged.

Sorry you can't read and think "processed cheese food product" means American Cheese.

You probably think the stuff that squirts out of a can is real cheddar too.

    “American cheese is a type of processed cheese made from cheddar, Colby, or similar cheeses, in conjunction with sodium citrate, which permits the cheese to be pasteurized without its components separating.”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_cheese

    It’s flavourless processed milk solids.

    This Wikipedia article contradicts itself, because Kraft Singles don't even qualify as American Cheese due to them not containing actual cheese (which it says in the article). Actual American cheese is just as flavorful as whatever cheese it's made from.

    The sodium citrate trick is really useful for recipes containing cheese. You can make sodium citrate from lemon juice and baking soda, melt a chunk of cheddar or colby with it and you have instant queso
