About Pepper-jack cheese

Pepper Jack cheese is a semi-soft, smooth dairy product that blends Monterey Jack cheese with spicy peppers, such as jalapeños, sweet peppers, and herbs. Originating from the United States, this cheese is renowned for its mild flavor and creamy consistency, enhanced with a zesty, tangy heat. A staple in Tex-Mex and Southwestern cuisines, it’s a versatile ingredient often used in burgers, quesadillas, or as a topping for nachos. Rich in calcium and protein, Pepper Jack contributes to bone health and supports muscle repair, but it is also relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. It delivers bold flavor while making a standard dish more exciting, but may not be ideal for those with dietary restrictions or a low-sodium diet.
