Spring Green
| This monograph provides a comprehensive analysis of Spring Green™ Colby Jack cheese, produced by Arena Cheese Inc. in Wisconsin, known as the original Co-Jack creator (1979). The semi-soft, marbled cheese blends annatto-colored Colby and white Monterey Jack curds using a washed-curd process to maintain mild, buttery flavor and elasticity. It relies on specific milk terroir, mastered cheesemaker expertise, and rigorous safety standards. The manufacture synchronizes two vats, fuses curds, and employs pasteurization and starter cultures for controlled acidification. The cheese features an open texture, mild diacetyl flavor, short aging (14 days–2 months), and pairs well with local beverages. | |
