Colby-Jack, or Co-jack/Cojack,[1] is an American marble cheese made from Colby and Monterey Jack. It is classified as semi-hard in texture and is mild due to its two-week aging process. It is generally sold in a full-moon or a half-moon shape when it is young.[2] The flavor of Colby-Jack is mild to mellow.[3] Colby-Jack cheese is mainly produced in the states of Wisconsin and California.[4] It is used in various dishes or as a topping to be melted. These dishes include burgers, pasta bakes, macaroni and cheese, casseroles and so on.[5] It is predominantly used in the United States, and is not readily available internationally.[citation needed]
