The taste of this Pepper Jack is excellent. It has the right bite of jalapeno in it with the tangy of Jack cheese. This would be perfect eaten shredded in quesadillas or on a salad. It can be sliced for a grilled cheese or just for a sandwich. It can also be cubed for a wine and cheese party. I definitely recommend this cheese to any one who wants a good Pepper Jack Cheese.
Pairings;
The best beverage to pair with this cheese should have the flavor of sweet. I asked a few friends what they would drink with it. Chef Jacob V. said,"a nice Riesling, a semi sweet one." While his counter part Chef Angel said he liked drinking Syrah since it has a pepper accent. Chef Amy had agreed that a sweet Riesling would be good, but she added Gewurztraminer and or a rose wine. While Chef Dom out of Chicago Felt it would be best drunk with a Chardonnay. Chef BJ of Hyde Park said he likes to drink Fleur du cap or Sauvignon Blanc. I my self enjoy ether Barqs Root Beer or an A&W Root Beer. What ever you like with it as long as you enjoy your self its going to be ok.
Try it and tell me what you think goes with this cheese.
