What it is
This product is a blend of Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses, pre-sliced for convenience. Colby cheese is a mild, semi-hard American cheese made from a blend of Colby and Cheddar. Monterey Jack, also known as Jack cheese, is a semi-hard, pale yellow cheese made from cow's milk. The combination offers a balanced flavor profile that is both creamy and slightly tangy.
