What You Should Know

You'd find 365 by Whole Foods Market Pepperjack in the refrigerated cheese aisle or on a deli counter, ready for sandwiches, quesadillas, or a cheese board at a casual gathering. Its creamy, slightly spicy character feels indulgent and adventurous; the short ingredient list (cultured pasteurized milk, jalapeños, salt, enzymes) points to a processed cheese made from whole dairy components rather than an ultra‑processed, additive-heavy product, so expect a familiar cheese texture studded with pepper bits.
