What it is
These are pre-portioned cubes of Colby Jack cheese, a popular American cheese made from a blend of Colby and Monterey Jack. The cheese is known for its mild, creamy flavor and its appealing marbled appearance, which comes from the combination of the two distinct cheeses. The cubes are convenient for snacking and for use in various dishes where uniform cheese pieces are desired.

For a warm application, they can be added to casseroles or baked dishes towards the end of cooking to melt slightly, or used as a topping for nachos and baked potatoes. Their uniform size ensures even distribution and melting.

To maintain freshness, keep any unused cheese cubes refrigerated in their original packaging or in an airtight container. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent the cheese from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator.
