Cold pack is a cheese spread from Wisconsin, in the United States. Makers grind one or more natural cheeses and blend them into a smooth mass without using heat. The result stays close to the cheese it starts from, and it is soft enough to spread with a knife. Many batches use cheddar, though Colby and other firm cheeses appear as well. Spices, nuts, vegetables, or a little wine may be mixed in, so the flavor is not one single recipe.
