Velveeta is a shelf-stable cheese product made from substances including whey, milk, milk protein concentrate, modified starch, canola oil, and cheese culture. It has a smooth consistency, mild taste, and vivid orange hue. Velveeta triumps in its ability to melt, making it a great base for dips.

Velveeta is typically used in recipes where it's important for the cheese to melt and melt smoothly. The main example of this is in cheese dips, such as the traditional Tex-Mex dish chile con queso dip, made by combining Velveeta with Ro-Tel, a brand of canned tomatoes with diced chiles.

Originally Velveeta was made from real cheese. Today, it's mainly whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate, milk, fat, and preservatives. By the Food and Drug Administration's standards, that's not real cheese - which is why the FDA forced Kraft to change its label from "cheese spread" to "cheese product."

Velveeta is a brand name for a cheese analogue similar to American cheese. It was invented in 1918 by Emil Frey of the "Monroe Cheese Company" in Monroe, New York. In 1923, "The Velveeta Cheese Company" was incorporated as a separate company. In 1925, it advertised two varieties, Swiss and American.

Velveeta may look like cheese, smell like cheese, and even taste like cheese, but it is technically classified as a “pasteurized process cheese product.” Though Velveeta was originally made from real cheese (sure it was runoff, but still), it is now mainly whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate, milk, fat, ...

1928 After the invention of tin foil in 1921, Kraft developed Velveeta (the name comes from the fact that it melts to a consistency as smooth as velvet) in 1928, wrapped it in the foil and placed it in wooden boxes to sell. It has been a hit since then.

Kraft Heinz's Velveeta brand has teamed up with Compartés Chocolatier, to create TruffVels, the first-ever chocolate cheese truffle. TruffVels brings the creamy Velveeta drip to the world of chocolate. The Velveeta infused white chocolate shell-shaped truffle is made for those who go all in for the things they love.

And you let it sit undisturbed. So it sets. And makes similar to like a pudding non-liquid form and at that point we cut. And have curds and white.
