The cheese is typically a marbled orange and white color, reflecting the combination of its two parent cheeses.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike block cheese, these cubes are pre-cut, saving preparation time.

The blend of Colby and Monterey Jack provides a unique flavor that is less sharp than cheddar and creamier than Colby alone.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining cheese cubes in their original packaging or an airtight container in the refrigerator. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent the cheese from drying out or absorbing odors from other foods. Consume within the recommended timeframe after opening for best quality.
