Low-fat Monterey Jack is a semi-soft, reduced-fat cheese originally developed in California, retaining the mild buttery flavor of traditional Monterey Jack with 25-50% less fat. Made with skim milk and bacterial culture, it maintains a smooth melting quality ideal for quesadillas and casseroles while providing a concentrated source of calcium and protein. This variant appeals to health-conscious users seeking dairy flavor with lower saturated fat and calorie content compared to full-fat cheeses.
