>I would not personally consider Kraft products to be cheese I wholeheartedly agree with this. Most Kraft products like the singles and cheese wiz and shit, the 'modified milk products' are not even close to cheese. What i was talking about are all those cheeses most people buy from the fair section, there's usually a mild, medium, old Cheddar selection, a mozzarella, lately i've seen Monterey jacks. Those are what I think of as the sterile 'cheese' made with pasteurized milk and lacking in active cultures. I'm guessing, like you say, they're likely closer to those modified milk products than real cheese, but for many, many people, that's the cheese they know, buy and eat. I've had raw milk cheese before and i've eaten plenty of active culture cheeses, the difference between them isn't really that noticable, they're all actual cheese.
