While I have not had much experience with American cheese, we had some
good friends living up here for a few years who frequently commented how
much better Canadians cheese was than American. After they moved back to
the US they made several trips back up here and always stocked up on
cheese to take back.

I have noticed a decline in the quality of the mass produced cheddar
here, but over the years I have been buying better cheeses. Maybe the
cheap stuff just tastes worse in comparison.
