Pepper Jack Cheese

Everyday

Pepper jack is a semi-soft cheese derived from Monterey Jack, characterized by its creamy texture and spicy flavor. It is made by incorporating hot peppers, such as jalapeños, serranos, or habaneros, into the cheese-making process. This cheese melts well, making it a popular choice for quesadillas, nachos, and grilled cheese sandwiches, while its heat level can vary depending on the type and amount of peppers used.
