Velveeta was first sold in 1918 by the Monroe Cheese Company in Monroe, New York. It was originally created as a way to use leftover cheese and was marketed as a nutritious cheese product. Over the years, it gained popularity and became a staple in American households, known for its smooth texture and melting properties.
The lady who famously sold Velveeta was Ruth F. Wakefield, who originally created the product in the 1920s at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. However, it was actually the Kraft Foods company that later acquired the Velveeta brand in 1931 and marketed it widely. Ruth Wakefield is more commonly known for her invention of the chocolate chip cookie, rather than for Velveeta itself.
The largest size of Velveeta loaf typically sold is a 32-ounce (2-pound) package. For shredded Velveeta cheese, the largest common size available is also 32 ounces. However, availability can vary by retailer, and larger bulk options may exist in some commercial settings or specialty stores.
