Pimientos in Processed Cheese

Summary From the preference shown there is a decided eye appeal in processed cheese containing pimientos in which the pieces of pimiento are of a bright red color and of such size as to be readily seen. The use of fire-roasted peppers will eliminate the possibility of off flavors that are due to oil roasting, either because of the use of old or rancid oil or the incomplete removal of the oil after roasting. The authors wish to thank all of those who so kindly examined the samples submitted to them and offered their comments. This work was conducted under the fellowship sponsored by Chas. Pfizer and Company, Inc., to whom the authors also wish to express their appreciation.
