Jalapeño Cheddar

Jalapeño Cheddar is a variety of cheddar cheese infused with jalapeño peppers. Made with either mild or sharp cheddar, the peppers are either mixed into the cheese or added as a topping. Its texture is firm to semi-firm, depending on the aging period, and smooth with a slight crumbly when aged longer. The cheese has a yellow or orange color, with green specks of jalapeño peppers. The level of spiciness varies depending on the amount and type of jalapeños used. Jalapeño Cheddar can be used in a variety of dishes, including burgers, sandwiches, quesadillas, and wraps, adding a creamy texture with a spicy kick.
