Having enjoyed the delicious range of cheese from around the world, we can only finish by offering this modern marvel (hopefully it didn't cause too much splatter on landing!) ...Velveeta
Velveeta is actually more of a brand name than a cheese name. It was invented in 1918 by Emil Frey, who was sent broken pieces of (Swiss) cheese from a factory in an attempt to avoid wasting the cheese. Frey began taking broken pieces of cheese back to his house where he spent two years working on a process to make use of them.
Nowadays, marketed as a "pasteurised prepared cheese product" (no longer a cheese spread), Velveeta has a velvety smooth texture, which brought on its name. There is some Swiss cheese mixed in. Or used to be. It has been described as an "abhorrent orange thing", certainly not culinary goodness.
