What is white American cheese (and why it melts well)

White American is a mild, processed melting cheese with relatively high moisture and a smooth, creamy texture when heated. It melts evenly and stays velvety rather than breaking into oily solids, which makes it well suited to a white queso-style sauce made with shredded white American.

Serve warm for best texture

The dip is intended to be served warm; keeping it hot maintains the cheese in a melted, silky state for dipping or spooning over tacos and other Mexican-style dishes.
