What it is

Colby cheese is a semi-hard American cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk. It is created by mixing Colby cheese curd with Monterey Jack cheese curd, then pressing them together. This results in a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a flexible texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Colby cheese as a primary ingredient in cheese blends, snack trays, and as a topping for various dishes. Its mild flavor and good melting properties make it popular in pre-packaged meals, deli salads, and shredded cheese products.
