What is real American cheese? When I think of American cheese I think of Kraft singles. It's not real cheese, it's congealed fat with artificial flavor.
Real American cheese is mostly cheddar cheese, usually a mild/medium variety, that is processed to extend shelf life.
Kraft makes both kinds, their real american cheese is packaged as deluxe and the slices are not individually wrapped.
The individually wrapped stuff is called cheese food, or something, because it doesn't have enough cheese in it to legally be called cheese.
