About COLBY CHEESE
Kroger Colby Cheese is a natural American-style cheese sold under the standard Kroger private label. Colby is a semi-hard cheese originating in Colby, Wisconsin, characterized by a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a softer, more open texture than cheddar due to a washed-curd process that removes lactose during production. Annatto coloring gives it the characteristic orange-yellow appearance.
The ingredient list is minimal and typical of natural cheese: pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, and annatto (for color). The use of generic enzymes (rather than specifying microbial or animal-derived) leaves rennet source unspecified. Annatto is a natural colorant derived from annatto seeds. No artificial preservatives, emulsifiers, or additives are present. The sole allergen is milk.
Nutrition per 100 grams: 393 calories, 25 g protein, 3.57 g carbs, and 32.14 g fat. Colby cheese is a high-fat, high-protein food with minimal carbohydrates, consistent with the natural cheese category. At 25 g protein per 100 g, it is a concentrated protein source. The low carbohydrate content (3.57 g) makes it compatible with low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets. As a natural cheese with no added fillers, thickeners, or preservatives, it represents a straightforward dairy product. Not suitable for dairy-free or vegan consumers, and not considered lactose-free despite the low lactose content typical of aged cheeses.
