What it is

Organic Colby cheese is a semi-hard, mild-flavored American cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced by mixing a Colby curd with a Monterey Jack curd, then pressing them together. The 'organic' designation means it is made from milk produced according to USDA National Organic Program standards, without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Colby cheese is often used as a table cheese for snacking or in sandwiches. Manufacturers also use it in cheese blends, shredded for toppings on dishes like casseroles and salads, or incorporated into processed cheese products.

Health notes

Colby cheese is recognized as safe by the FDA. Like other cheeses, it is a source of protein and calcium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated cheese and dairy products. Typical consumption of cheese as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info
