Take two things you love a lot and blend them together. That's the story of Colby Jack. A combination of Colby and Monterey Jack, Colby Jack's flavor ranges from mild and mellow, to lightly sweet, to sharp and tangy.

Usually marbled white and orange, Colby's as fun to eat as it looks. Slice some Colby Jack and eat it with apples, pears or dark breads like pumpernickel and rye.
