Pepper Jack is a derivative of Monterey Jack, the original “American” cheese invented by Mexican Franciscan friars of Monterey, California. As the name suggests, the cheese is flavoured with sweet peppers, rosemary, habañero chillies, garlic, and spicy jalapeños for an extra kick.
This semi-soft, open-textured cheese is spicy yet leaves a delicate buttery taste in the mouth. It is often eaten with quesadillas, crackers or hamburgers. Pepper jack can also go well with jalapeno peppers, melons, grapes, pickled vegetables, and olives.
