About COLBY & MONTEREY JACK CHEESES, COLBY JACK CHEESE
Moovelous Colby and Monterey Jack Cheese (Colby Jack) is a blend cheese product sold under Kroger's Moovelous sub-brand, which is a Kroger private-label dairy line. Colby Jack, also called Co-Jack, is an American cheese made by marbling or combining Colby and Monterey Jack curds, producing a mild, semi-soft cheese with a distinctive orange-and-white appearance from the annatto coloring in the Colby component.
The ingredient list includes pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, microbial enzymes, annatto (for color), natamycin (mold inhibitor), and calcium chloride. Microbial enzymes are used for coagulation, making this product suitable for most vegetarians avoiding animal rennet. Natamycin is a naturally derived antifungal agent applied to the surface or incorporated to prevent mold growth during distribution. Annatto, derived from the achiote seed, provides the characteristic orange color of the Colby portion. Calcium chloride is added to improve curd formation in the cheesemaking process. The sole allergen is milk.
