I Tried 10 American Cheese Slices & the Best Was Not the Brand You Think
Jan 31, 2025

From creamy to sharp, I put 10 American cheese slices to the test—here’s the one that came out on top.

When you're going to grab a snack out of the fridge for a little bit of quick protein before dinner, or what they're really known for, making grilled cheese sandwiches, it's important to pick the right American cheese. It might seem like they're all the same (I'm guilty of thinking that, as well, before this assignment), but that's far from true.
Some are creamier than others, some are more flavorful than others, some are easier to pick apart. I tried 11 different American cheese slices to find the best one and there is a clear winner. Surprisingly it's probably not the one you think it is! The order is starting with my least favorite, ending in my favorite

This American cheese from The Fresh Market has no preservatives, no binders, and no fillers and is made with cow milk not treated with rBST. That said, it seems like we're off to a great start with this one.
The Look:
It has a thin look to it, that nostalgic smell, and a bit of an artificial feel. It appears to be a good option, pretty standard for American cheese. Let's see how the taste holds up!
