Lower melting point and more moisture than normal cheddar.
FDA requirement for packaging is 51% cheese to be labeled as “cheese”. The Kraft singles have extra milk and emulsifiers to make them more melty. it’s believed to be about 48% “cheese”.
The reason all restaurants use the upper one (I’ll take your word on this) is because it’s fucking cheaper to buy and you don’t have to unwrap each slice. That would be a huge pain in the ass.
The bottom one has a lower melting point and more moisture. “Cheese” has to be 51% cheese per FDA. It is estimated that Kraft singles are around 48%.
That tiny amount difference isn’t because it saves money in production. It’s just because it works better in a grilled cheese sandwich.
Lower melting point and more moisture than what? The upper one that was already made to be a better melting cheese than Cheddar or Colby?
If that was true then why do all restaurants that I know of use the upper one and not the lower ones for grilled cheese?
I’m sorry, but in this case you’re wrong, singles are just the enshitified version of American cheese.
