Maple Leaf Habanero Jack: A Pagosa Springs Guide to Flavor, Pairings and a Better Melt

The first bite may seem friendly: mild milk, a buttery finish, an easy chew. Then the habanero starts talking. Maple Leaf Habanero Jack rewards a little patience, whether you are slicing an afternoon snack in Pagosa Springs or making quesadillas after a day at Wolf Creek. Treat it as flavorful cheese with heat, rather than a test of courage, and you will get much more out of it.
