Hereof, what is the difference between real cheese and processed cheese?

The basic difference between the real and processed cheese is the real cheese is made out of natural ingredients including milk, salt and natural colors, while the processed cheese is a cheese product made out of cheese with additional flavors and emulsifiers.

Subsequently, question is, how do they make processed cheese? Pasteurized process cheese can be made from a single cheese (solid, or powdered), or a blend of several cheeses. Cream, milk fat, water, salt, artificial color, oils (for consistency and texture), and spices may also be added. The mixture is heated with an emulsifier, poured into a mold, and allowed to cool.

Beside this, is processed cheese healthy?

Cheese can offer may health benefits, but those at risk of cardiovascular disease or weight gain should choose low-sodium, low-fat cheeses. Processed cheeses and “cheese foods” are most likely to contain additional fat and salt, so choose natural but low-fat dairy products.
