Natural Cheese Versus
Processed Cheese
Unlike processed cheese, Sargento natural cheese contains only Natural Ingredients and comes fresh from the Fridge, not the shelf. Our cheese is Made, not manufactured, and it is Naturally Flavorful instead of flavor stabilized. Anyway you look at it, natural cheese is better. Find out more below.
Sargento cheeses contains pasteurized milk,
cheese cultures, enzymes, and salt.
Whereas processed cheese is made with
added emulsifiers such as calcium
phosphate, sodium citrate and sodium
phosphate.
Sargento cheeses are fresh and never
processed, so, like most dairy products,
they need to be refrigerated. Processed
cheeses, on the other hand, are full of
preservatives like sorbic acid so they
can be stored for months on the shelves
without refrigeration.
Sargento cheese is made using
time-honored techniques. It's never
melted while it's being made,
preserving that delicious, authentic
Sargento flavor. Processed cheese is
heated to 180 degrees, which strips
the cheese of its flavor. To form
slices, processed cheese is often cooked
into a liquid, pumped into plastic, and
then flattened into a slice.
Sargento cheeses are like a fine
wine — they natually develop flavor
with age. Processed cheese is pumped
with ingredients that prevent any change
in flavor.
