Pepperjack Cheese
What You Should Know
You'd find this block of pepper jack in the refrigerated cheese case at Whole Foods or reach for it from your fridge when making sandwiches, nachos, or a casual cheese board. It feels playful and indulgent with a mild spicy kick—comforting and a little adventurous for snack-time or gatherings. The short ingredient list (pasteurized milk, jalapeños, salt, enzymes) and simple cheesemaking give a natural, slightly firm texture with visible pepper flecks, suggesting conventional processing rather than an ultra‑processed product.
