Colby-Jack, a common type of marbled cheese

Marble cheese is a name given to cheeses with marbled patterns. These are produced by combining either two different colored curds, cheese curds or processed cheeses.

Description

[edit]

Marble cheeses originate from the UK.[1] They are usually hard, processed cow's milk cheeses. Colby-Jack which combines Colby cheese and Monterey Jack is most popular in the United States.[1]

Others are produced from a combination of the curds of white and orange cheddars (for Marbled Cheddar), or similar.[1][2] The marbling is usually not achieved with artificial additives, though cheeses such as Red Windsor and Sage Derby may contain colourings such as Chlorophyll (E140) and Carmine (E120).[3][4]
