American cheese is typically not aged for a long period; it is a processed cheese that often contains a blend of milk, milk fats, and solids, along with emulsifiers. It usually undergoes minimal aging, if any, often just enough to achieve the desired texture and flavor, which can be as short as a few weeks. Thus, American cheese is known for its smooth consistency and mild taste rather than a lengthy aging process.
