About COLBY & MONTEREY JACK CHEESE, COLBY & MONTEREY JACK
Great Value Colby and Monterey Jack Cheese in this 28-gram block entry is a Walmart private-label natural cheese combining the mildly sweet Colby with the buttery Monterey Jack under the budget Great Value brand. The formulation uses pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, and annatto — with annatto specifically present to color the Colby portion of the blend, giving the finished product its characteristic warm orange-yellow hue. The clean, short ingredient list is consistent with natural block cheese across all price tiers.
Great Value Colby Jack is produced to the same fundamental natural cheese standards as more expensive brands, as cheesemaking fundamentals — acidification, curd cutting, cooking, pressing, and aging — are largely consistent across commodity Colby and Monterey Jack production. The flavor difference between Great Value Colby Jack and premium alternatives is subtle and attributable primarily to milk source, aging duration, and production-scale equipment rather than formula differences.
Nutritionally, a 28-gram serving delivers approximately 100 to 110 calories, predominantly from fat with a significant saturated fat component, moderate protein around 6 to 7 grams, and a meaningful calcium contribution. Milk is the sole declared allergen under FASTER Act 2023. The product is gluten-free, egg-free, nut-free, and suitable for lacto-vegetarian diets. Great Value Colby Jack offers the cost-savings advantages of Walmart's budget private label while delivering a nutritionally equivalent product to national-brand block cheeses, making it a practical choice for everyday cooking, snacking, and meal preparation.
