What it is
Organic Pepper Jack cheese is a semi-firm, smooth cheese made from pasteurized organic milk, cultures, salt, and enzymes. It is infused with spicy peppers, such as jalapeños or habaneros, to give it a characteristic heat and flavor. The cheese is typically aged for a short period, resulting in a mild yet zesty taste.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Organic Pepper Jack cheese for its spicy flavor and melting properties. It is commonly found in frozen dinners, breakfast sandwiches, quesadillas, pizzas, and as a topping for nachos and baked potatoes. Its bold taste adds a kick to a variety of savory dishes.
Health notes
Organic Pepper Jack cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. Like other cheeses, it is a source of protein and calcium. The FDA has not established specific upper intake levels for cheese itself, but recommends moderation as part of a balanced diet due to its saturated fat and sodium content. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese components, but no specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption of pepper jack cheese.
Allergen info
Organic Pepper Jack cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
