Velveeta

Velveeta has been a beloved American brand for over 100 years, offering a wide variety of melty, creamy cheese products. With its smooth and velvety texture, Velveeta has become a staple in many households for recipes like queso dip, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, and more.

About Velveeta

Velveeta has been making melty, creamy cheese products for over 100 years. It all started in 1918 when Emile Frey invented a revolutionary new smooth melting cheese formula. In 1923, his Monroe Cheese Company was acquired by Kraft, who began producing the famous Velveeta cheese blocks.

Today, Velveeta continues to make cheese products known for their uniquely velvety, creamy textures. Their original cheese brick can be easily sliced, diced or shredded to top dishes, make dips, and create cheesy sauces. Velveeta also offers a range of convenient, ready-to-eat products like shredded cheese, microwaveable mac cups, and fully prepared skillet meals.

No matter what form it takes, real cheese ingredients give Velveeta its signature meltiness and craveable flavor. The brand has innovated over the years, but stays committed to providing the melty cheese experience generations have loved. From family taco nights to parties and game days, Velveeta aims to make cheesy recipes easy and delicious.

Though it started as a single cheese brick, the Velveeta line has expanded to include queso, spreads, and convenient shredded, sliced and skillet options. However you use it, Velveeta’s smooth, creamy texture promises ooey, gooey cheese perfection every time.
