Home of the fat

Interesting. I usually see beta carotene used here in europe.

>>13693407
It's not exclusively. We actually make all kinds of white cheese. Mainstream stuff like Monterrey jack, colby, sharp provolone and we also make copies of european cheese like brie, gouda..

>>13693429
Annatto is the same thing. They're both derived from carrots.
>>13693407
Originally so that Americans would know to buy American made cheddar instead of imported British cheddar once we got in a missing match with the motherland. It's why Australia and Canada don't do it either because they always maintained good relations and staid in the commonwealth.

>>13693462
That's a myth

>>13693462
You sure?
>Annatto is an orange-red condiment and food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree native to tropical regions from Mexico to Brazil. It is often used to impart a yellow or orange color to foods, but sometimes also for its flavor and aroma.

A girl at my work showed me this image the other day and it still triggers my ptsd.

I'm a manager at walmart, and I was sitting on like 6 pallets of those fucking cheese balls at any given moment. I'd sell through one, and receive another. I hate our buyers.

>>13693415
Never been to an american cookout I see?

Because orange tastes better.

>>13693407

>>13693974

>>13694333

>>13693407
amato

>>13694333

>>13693407

>>13693407

>>13694344
imagine using a shareblue meme originating in America to try and slam Americans.

Just more proof the worlds hopelessly enslaved to our culture.

>shareblue meme
we got us a big brain /pol/turd over here lmfao

>>13693407
the actual answer is that as cow diets change, so does the color of the milk (hence more yellow butter in certain times of the year, when they eat beta carotene rich plants)
as factory farms started to spring up, and diets became more standardized (hay/cheap grain) the color of the milk became more winter diet colored than spring (i.e. white) all year round; factories had to come up with an appealing color to keep americans seeing the butter/milk as yellower, which was associated with richness and flavor, hence the additive mentioned above; Kerrygold butter, for example, used to have the season-dependent variable color but over the years and especially as they pushed into american markets, and started to add beta-carotene rich additives to regain uniformity to the yellow color

>>13693407
It's made with cheddar and colby.

>>13693407
Lol some low lev manager must have ordered extra pallets of this stuff, liked these as a kid though.

>>13693578
>>13694611
who even eats those though? i can't imagine something more low class than the cheese ball buckets. and they dont even taste good

>>13694770
They're dirt cheap, and many poor people like to absentmindedly snack on unfilling vaguely-flavoured puffs to distract themselves from their life. Vicious cycle.

>>13693407
Cause our emperor is orange, so orange is good dummy.

>>13693407
because it is traditional, long before America was even a thing to die cheddar orange

>>13693407
Historical fluke. Cheddar produced by cows grazing in spring is a little bit yellow and is higher quality, while cows that are fed hay in winter produce a more white cheddar that isn't as flavorful. People figured out they could scam customers by dying the cheese to look like spring cheddar all the time, and an arms race took off to the point that now almost all cheddar is dyed orange.
This has spilled over to processed cheeses (like powders and slices) as well.

>it was the dutch all along

>>13695273

>>13694344
It would take 20 seconds for up to whip that up in Paint. Put some effort into it you lazy fucking liberal.

>>13695492
but Farm and Fleet tho

brown is just dark orange

>>13693407
Orange you glad they aren't bananas?

>>13693407
The answer is that, historically, oranges have been used in cheese making to make it more tender, but orange is usually used for other reasons, such as colour.

An American orange is made with a combination of 2 things:
Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring mineral that is used in the formation of calcium carbonate (the orange colour).
is a naturally occurring mineral that is used in the formation of calcium carbonate (the orange colour). Iron oxide and carrageenan are naturally occurring ingredients in the production of iron oxide. The orange colour can be produced by adding lime juice to orange juice which is used as the acid in cheese making.
The orange colour is caused by the presence of calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring molecule. It is naturally present in all rocks and minerals. In fact, the calcium carbonate is more abundant in cheese making than in most other food products (including fruit juice, beer, wine, and even honey).
