American cheese is a common processed cheese. It is orange, yellow, or white in color and mild in flavor, with a medium-firm consistency, and melts easily. It has traditionally been made from a blend of cheeses, most often Colby and Cheddar. Today’s American cheese is generally no longer made from a blend of all-natural cheeses, but instead is a processed cheese (i.e., it is manufactured from a set of ingredients[1] such as milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, salt) which meets the legal definition of cheese.

I totally understand what you mean Col by "real" = deli. I prefer Deli cheese most of the time. Like a REAL deli ... not quiznos, subway, ect. The Deli Cheese just seems to be a better quality. At most of the time it is the only place I can get sliced Tillamock Cheddar which is my absolute FAV cheese.
