Marble cheese is a name given to cheeses with marbled patterns. These are produced by combining either two different colored curds, cheese curds or processed cheeses.
Description
Marble cheeses originate from the United Kingdom.[1] They are usually hard, processed cow's milk cheeses. Colby-Jack which combines Colby cheese and Monterey Jack is most popular in the United States.[1]
Others are produced from a combination of the curds of white and orange cheddars (for Marbled Cheddar), or similar.[1][2] The marbling is usually not achieved with artificial additives, though cheeses such as Red Windsor and Sage Derby may contain colourings such as Chlorophyll (E140) and Carmine (E120).[3][4]
Types
- Marble cheddar, a blend of white and orange cheddar.[2]
- Colby-Jack, a blend of Colby cheese and Monterey Jack.[1]
- Red Windsor, cheddar cheese with added red wine (usually Port or Bordeaux), or with a red food colouring.[3][5]
- 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.[3][4]
