what kind of cheese does in n out use

In-N-Out uses a real American cheese slice on its burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, not a processed “cheese product.” The chain describes it simply as “American cheese” and emphasizes that it is “the real thing” as part of its food-quality standards.

What kind of cheese it is

• The cheese is classic American cheese formulated to melt smoothly over the patty on the grill.

• In-N-Out states that its American cheese is real dairy cheese, not an imitation or processed topping.

Brand and special formulation

• In-N-Out does not publicly list the brand on its official materials; it is only described generically as American cheese.

• Some diners online claim it is a custom, slow-melting American cheese made for the chain by commercial suppliers, but this is not officially confirmed by In-N-Out.

How it’s used on the menu

• Standard cheeseburgers and Double-Doubles come with a slice of melted American cheese, placed on the patty while it is still on the grill.

• The popular off-menu grilled cheese is essentially the same burger setup (bun, spread, veggies) but with two slices of melted American cheese and no beef patty.

TL;DR: In-N-Out uses real American cheese slices (not a cheese product), with the exact brand kept private and described only as “American cheese” in the company’s food-quality info.
