This is a single-serving portion of pasteurized processed cheddar cheese. It is designed for convenience and is often found in lunchboxes or as a quick snack. The cheese is blended with other ingredients to create a smooth, consistent texture and flavor. It is a shelf-stable product, meaning it does not require refrigeration until it is opened.
