No FMB is full of shit on this one, Technically when you blend cheeses together it becomes a processed cheese product. Provel is made from a mix of white cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheeses and cannot truly be considered cheese. It's real cheese but blended together.
The next step down would be Pasteurized process cheese, followed by Pasteurized process cheese food, then Pasteurized process cheese spread. Non of the Pasteurized products are considered cheese.
Provel is real cheese and not a Pasteurized product like Velveeta which is really not cheese at all and is labeled as a "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product". Products with this label may contain MPC's (milk protein concentrate, a highly processed concentrated milk protein) It 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.
