Weird History Food is getting cheesy, covering the history of Velveeta. Everyone's favorite party dip for tortilla chips has a longer history than one would expect. Coming from the dairy mind of Emil Frey, Velveeta has changed a lot over the years. How much? Well, take a dip into this video and find out. Chips are not required during the viewing of Velveeta, but a bib might be a good choice.

They could market it as 'Premium' Velveeta, charge a few extra bucks, or, give it a 'fancy' name and sell it at higher end grocery stores like Trader Joe's and slap even more to the price tag. Wealthy sorts would suck that up, especially those that came from humble roots and grew up with Valveeta, this would be a nouveau riche staple. I could see haute cuisine restaurants taking it and making high scale versions of Valveeta staple dishes. In short it would be a boom for Kraft to do it.

There are a number of recipes floating around on how to make your own custom processed cheese with your favorites, like cheddar and gruyere. These use either gelatin or sodium citrate (frequently available in the grocery spice aisle.) This will melt just as smoothly as Velveeta, and actually contain real cheese.

You'd think some other company that makes the premium items that are in the health food section of grocery stores, like Annie's, for example, would start making their own version of Velveeta, using the original recipe. I'd probably be so expensive, though, and Velveeta is already so expensive. The only way I could see that it would work is if they could somehow make it cheaper, but I don't see how that could be possible.

It would not be that expensive. To emulsify a pound of cheese requires perhaps fifty cents worth of sodium citrate. In industrial quantities the cost is about eight cents a pound. No, I think there are likely other reasons why Kraft is making Velveeta the way it does.

Everyone saying they want to try the original, real cheese version… you can buy a bag of sodium citrate online for a few dollars and it will last you years. A tsp of it will allow you to make Velveeta consistency queso or mac and cheese with any real cheese you’d like and a small amount of milk, or even water. Great for fondue as well or even perfectly smooth Alfredo sauce from fresh grated Parmesan. Crazy thing is, my grocery store always has at least one brand of real cheese buy one get one free… by pound, it’s significantly cheaper than Velveeta now, as Velveeta has risen in price more than any food I’ve seen. 1 pound of Velveeta is now $6 at my store, whereas a pound of real cheese can be had for as little as $3.50 on sale. Pinch of sodium citrate and you’ll have better queso, cheaper.

I didn't grow up with Velveeta, so it's just okay to me. I have used it (sparingly) in recipes, but not by itself. I remember when the Velveeta version of boxed macaroni and cheese hit the shelves in our town, and my sister fell in love. It was okay, but I wanted more flavor. If I'm going to use it at all, I put a southwest salsa, refried black beans with lime, and Velveeta in a crock pot and melt it all into the world's ugliest - but tastiest - bean dip. I could probably use American cheese in it, in place of Velveeta, but Velveeta is convenient.

It's funny you said that the shells taste better . When I was a kid my mom would sometimes get cartoon shaped Kraft macaroni and cheese. I was convinced that the shapes tasted better than the regular elbow macaroni shape lol. I was at the store with my 6 year old and he wanted the single serving mac and cheese so I said get the unicorn shaped ones because the shapes always taste better. When we got home he wanted some and sure enough he said you're right they do taste better. I know Velveeta is different, but it made me think of this. Your channel always brings back some kind of childhood memory for me.

It contains 44% of moisture and 23% of butterfat. The condensed whey adds to the product milk sugar and milk minerals lost in the making of american cheese." 50's/60's VELVEETA "pasteurized process cheese food" "American Cheese, condensed whey, nonfat dry milk solids, water, cream, sodium phosphate, salt, artificial color. Moisture 44%, Milkfat 23%" 70's Velveeta "American and swiss cheese, condensed whey, water, nonfat dry milk, sodium phosphate, cream, salt, artificial color. Moisture 46%, milkfat 20%" 80's Velveeta "Natural Cheese (American [cheddar(milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes) and Colby]), water, whey, sodium phosphate, whey protein concentrate, skim milk, milkfat, salt, annatto and apocarotenal (color)" 2022 Velveeta "skim milk, milk, canola oil, milk protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, contains less than 2% of modified food starch, whey protein concentrate, maltodextrin, whey, salt, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid as a preservative, milkfat, sodium alginate, sodium citrate, enzymes, apocarotenal and annatto (color), cheese culture, vitamin a palmitate"

When I got my first well-paid job (Teamster Union wages) working summer graveyard shifts to pay for college, I used to crave the middle of the night lunch break. I made my lunches by day, with a big sandwich containing thin sliced meat and thick sliced Velveeta, and usually a Hostess apple or cherry pie. Being a young man of 19-20-21 and working my ass off each summer for 10-hour shifts in the dark of night, the lunch break was a little piece of heaven, and Velveeta (even if it's fake cheese synthetic goo) still has those memories somewhere in my brain.

I remember once in college I wanted to make a mac and cheese without Velveeta and I found a recipe that contained 4 different cheeses that I had never heard of. I no longer remember which they were, but I do remember them being really expensive. After mixing, melting and baking the damned thing tasted _exactly_ like Velveeta! Since then I’ve never used anything else! 🧀

Well don't try to cook with cheese if you don't know cheese. There's hundreds of different cheeses from taste to color. Buying random expensives cheeses won't make it good if you don't know how to eat them.

About the closest I'll get to "Valveater" is American cheese... Which is great on a cheeseburger or in a grilled cheese sandwich because of its melty-ness. For Mac&cheese, a bechamel (equal parts oil and flour with milk stirred in) and shredded cheddar with other little chunks of cheese in the fridge makes a superior cheese sauce to douse macaroni... Additions like dry mustard, hot sauce, onion and garlic powder may be used. It's also cheaper than Velveeta or Kroger knock off, and It has a lot fewer chemicals and junk. For queso, make another bechamel and use shredded cheddar, Jack, Colby along with Rotel and chopped pickled jalapenos. Better yet, if you can find it, Mexican Chihuahua Cheese is the very best for queso! 🤤😋

I prefer REAL cheese 🧀 over Velveeta. Yet, the historical fact is that Velveeta was really real cheese. To live in pre 1920 just to taste it must have been heavenly. The only thing that is good about Velveeta is that it melts well. In order to get real cheese to melt, you have to use butter and milk.

Back when I worked in a grocery store, I would get people asking where the Velveeta was at because they couldn't find it in the cheese section. I would take them to an end-cap on one of the aisles and show them the Velveeta. They always asked why it was not in the with the cheese and I would tell them,"It isn't cheese."

It is sad that most processed food in America has so many artificial chemicals and preservatives even with food that has natural ingredients contains it. I hope they do bring back the original recipe even if they brand it as an artisan Velveeta and charge more for it I would try it if it didn't have all the junk Kraft put in it. Better quality ingredients are better after all even if it is expensive.

Millions of families eat this stuff, never even considering that there might be something better out there.

I didn't know how much better Mom's was than the box she grew up with in the 50s. I don't think she ever took a bite. Bad memories of hard times with her family, mac n cheese and maybe some meat once in a while. That's the kind of thing that trickles down though generations.
