How to make Monterey Jack at home

Monterey Jack is commonly used in Mexican and Spanish cuisine as it’s mild in flavour and melts really well. It has a similar taste and texture to Colby and Cheddar and has variants known as Dry Jack (aged for +6 months) and Pepper Jack (spiced with Jalapeños). Made from pasteurised cow’s milk.

Monterey Jack origins: Around the 1700s, monasteries around the Monterey region were making a semi-firm, creamy, mild flavoured cheese from cow’s milk which they aged for a few months. An American entrepreneur named David Jack realized its commercial value and started selling it all over California. The cheese came to be known as “Monterey Jack's” or “Jack's Monterey,” eventually acquiring the name Monterey Jack.
