Cold pack cheese was first made by a Wisconsin tavern owner for snacking.[1] It is often made using Cheddar or Swiss cheeses as a base, using added spices, fruits, vegetables, or nuts as flavoring.[2] Common flavorings include almonds, port wine, horseradish, and smoked flavor. However, a wide variety of cheeses may be used in creating this spread.[3]

As with most cheese spreads, cold pack cheese is a soft spreadable blend of cheeses that can be used in a variety of applications. It can be used as an ingredient in sandwiches, on top of hot foods, such as potatoes, as a base for a cheese sauce, or simply on its own, served with crackers as an appetizer.^{[citation needed]}
