Marble cheese

Marble cheese is a name given to cheeses produced by combining two others, creating a marbled pattern, such as Sage Derby and Colby-Jack.

Description

Marble cheese originates from England. They are usually hard, processed cow's milk cheeses, produced from a combination of the curds of white and orange cheddars (for Marbled Cheddar), or similar. Colby-Jack combines Colby cheese and Monterey Jack and is most popular in the United States. The marbling is usually not achieved with artificial additives, though cheeses such as Red Windsor and Sage Derby contain colourings such as Chlorophyll (E140) and Carmine (E120).

Types

  • Marble cheddar, a blend of white and orange cheddar.
  • Colby-Jack, a blend of Colby cheese and Monterey Jack.
  • Red Windsor, cheddar cheese with added red wine (usually Port or Bordeaux), or with a red food colouring.
  • Sage Derby, a Derby cheese traditionally made with added sage; now usually made using green plants such as spinach, parsley and marigold; or with green vegetable dye.
