Marble cheese


Marble cheese is a name given to cheeses with marbled patterns. These are produced by combining either two different colored curds, cheese curds or processed cheeses.

Description

Marble cheese originates from England. They are usually hard, processed cow's milk cheeses like Colby-Jack which combines Colby cheese and Monterey Jack and is most popular in the United States.
Others are produced from a combination of the curds of white and orange cheddars, or similar. The marbling is usually not achieved with artificial additives, though cheeses such as Red Windsor and Sage Derby contain colourings such as Chlorophyll and Carmine.
