Colby-Jack
Colby-Jack or Cojack is a cheese produced from a mixture of Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses. It is commonly sold in a marbled form. The cheese was first made in the United States and is named after the two types of cheese used in its production.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The name "Colby-Jack" is a combination of "Colby" and "Monterey Jack", the two types of cheese used in its production. The term "Cojack" is a portmanteau of these two names.
Production[edit | edit source]
Colby-Jack cheese is produced by combining curds from Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses. The curds are then pressed into a cheese mold and aged. The resulting cheese is marbled, with distinct regions of Colby and Monterey Jack cheese visible.
