About Monterey cheese
Monterey Jack cheese, often referred to simply as "Jack," is a semi-soft cow's milk cheese originating from the United States, specifically California. Known for its creamy texture and mild flavor, it’s a versatile choice in a variety of cuisines, including Mexican and American dishes. Traditionally made with just milk, cultures, salt, and enzymes, its simplicity makes it a natural option for cooking and snacking. Monterey Jack provides a rich source of calcium and protein, essential for bone health and muscle repair, but it can be high in saturated fats and sodium, so moderation is key. Variants like Pepper Jack introduce zesty spices for added flavor without additional nutrients. Perfect for melting or slicing, its smooth profile complements everything from quesadillas to casseroles. While it offers nutritional benefits, balancing it with other low-fat dairy choices can be beneficial for heart health.
