American Cheese has been a fan favorite of children and adults for decades, but most cheesemakers feel very differently about it. We’re delving into James Krafts’ entrepreneur spirit, the ins and outs of “process cheese”, and the ingenious business strategies that made Kraft Foods a household name. This episode is all about Kraft Foods history starting from a little town in Canada to a big jump across the Niagara River. It’s time to stir up a pot of mac and cheese while we talk about how a horse named Paddy, a little blind ambition, and cheese changed the world.
