The History of Velveeta

Kraft likes to begin the historical timeline of Velveeta cheese in the year 1928. That was the year Kraft began advertising its newly purchased line of smooth, creamy Velveeta cheese. Shockingly enough, Kraft did not develop the original recipe for the Velveeta cheese that so many of us depend on for good times at picnics. The true mastermind behind Velveeta cheese is genius immigrant Emil Frey. The year was 1918. For cheese lovers around the world, 1918 is very much like 1492 when Columbus discovered America, only Emil Frey discovered Velveeta cheese and it tastes better than 1492.

Kraft foods took over the production and marketing of Velveeta cheese in 1928. It was advertised as a health food and began its road to food fame as one of Kraft’s all-time greatest foods.
