About Monterrey cheese
Monterrey Jack cheese is a semi-hard cheese originally created in California by Spanish settlers, making it one of the earliest American cheeses. Known for its creamy texture and mild flavor, it is made from cow's milk and typically contains milkfat, proteins, calcium, and vitamins A and D. Rich in calcium, it supports bone health, while its protein content aids in muscle maintenance and repair. However, Monterrey Jack is also high in saturated fat and sodium, which may be a concern for those watching heart health or blood pressure. Commonly used in Mexican-American and Tex-Mex dishes like quesadillas and nachos, it melts beautifully, making it a versatile cooking ingredient. Varieties such as Pepper Jack may include spices or herbs for added flavor. Enjoy Monterrey Jack cheese in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
