About Colby Jack cheese
Colby Jack is a marbled cheese combining Colby and Monterey Jack, typically made from cow’s milk. It is used sliced in sandwiches, melted over foods, grated, or served in cubes. The familiar appearance is a pattern of orange and pale ivory, with a smooth, pliable texture and mild, creamy flavour.
It is commonly sold as blocks, slices or shreds. The proportions of the two cheeses and the use of colouring can differ among products, so the name describes a style rather than a single fixed formulation. Nutrition comparisons should match the form and product, especially where fat, salt or moisture differ.
