Summary

This cheese blend includes Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, both of which are sources of high-quality protein and calcium, and are made from pasteurized milk with natural cheese cultures and enzymes. The use of annatto for coloring is natural and does not detract from the nutritional quality. However, the product is processed, which limits its score despite the clean ingredient list.
