How food powers your body's metabolism

Probably the best bet: naturally produced products without using hydrogenation and too much heat.

From the formal standpoint a high-quality fat product should not contain trans fats or contain just a small amount of them.

Sure: but neither “European” nor “round” provide a heuristic for identifying those qualities.

Edit: to expand, a quick look in my fridge shows the following cheese have no trans fats at all.

- Tillamook’s widely available industrial cheddar - Generic brand feta - Generic low-moisture cheddar - Dutch Gouda

We should probably eat good cheese because it tastes better, but I would imagine that trans fat free cheese would encapsulate most common cheese varieties.

As an FYI, added trans fats have been illegal in the US since a few years ago:

I find that bringing up American cheese is the single fastest way to establish whether someone knows anything about food or not. It's an excellent filter.

American Cheese is fantastic! Kraft Singles American however is trash and I hate that I have to explain the difference or that some people think that's what all American Cheese is like.
