Knife i guess or buy factory sliced. Most cheeses in america is a bit to soft to slice with a cheese slicer anyway.

  American cheese? Does that relate to real cheese as Pizza Hawaii compares to an actual Italian pizza?

    It's flimsy processed orange milk-based goop in thin sheets. Great on burgers and literally nothing else.

      Actually, it ruins the burger...

    In my experience, the more popular american cheeses are quite mild and have a low melting temperature to get a good melt and stretch on warm food. I don't find them particularly interesting to just slice and put on a piece of bread. It is often easy enough to find good but expensive imported cheeses.

    There's cheese which is made in America which for most intents and purposes is cheese like everywhere else, and then there's "American cheese" which comes in slices or blocks and is "cheese product" and only vaguely resembles the real thing despite being delicious in certain guilty-pleasure situations.

    Don't look for American cheese, look for Wisconsin or Vermont cheese. Maybe California in a pinch. Those will be good.

      That makes no sense. The geographic source of the cheese is trivila compared to the way it is made. You can get cheap American process ccheese food or you can get expensive classic varieties of cheese from anywhere.

  Or Swedish cheese is made hard enough to be used with an osthyvel.

  Well, for that there’s a special danish type of cheese slicer that works better with soft cheese.

    We use this one for soft cheese: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=danish+cheese+slicer+wire&t=ffab&iax=1&ia=images&iai=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.holdnstorage.com%2FPreview%2F330%2F320%2F2070100.bmp https://duckduckgo.com/?q=danish+cheese+slicer+wire&t=ffab&i...

      That’s exactly what I meant! We (my family being German) found it on one of our shopping trips at Bilka Kolding (we sometimes drive up there), and just bought one. Sooo awesome.

In Switzerland we do cheese shavings like described in the following article (although only for a specific type of cheese, the 'tete de moine' (monk's head). http://itotd.com/articles/217/the-girolle/ http://itotd.com/articles/217/the-girolle/ For any other hard cheese it's a bit blasphemic.
