What is Monterey Jack Cheese?

Honey Brook Jack is one of the five original Monterey Jack cheeses we began producing back in 2007. It’s creamy, melts perfectly, and can easily be consumed in large quantities. This cheese is super versatile and can be used in any recipe calling for Colby. In Lancaster, people love to eat pretzels and cheese together! Salty, crunchy pretzels combined with this amazing mild cheese is hard to beat.

When we first made this cheese we called it “Just Jack” because it was our plain Monterey Jack. We chose a light blue label and were quite satisfied with our new cheese.

It wasn’t long before we learned that people who shop for cheese are actually color sensitive. The pretty blue label didn’t make you think of cheese, but something “cold and clammy,” as Dave would say. The sales were slow, and we were learning a new business.

Back to the printers, we decided to come up with a new name and new color. A bright yellow label debuted, and a new name, “Honey Jack.” We added a touch of honey to the cheese and thought we had it just right.

As the story goes, customers were telling us they couldn’t taste the honey so eventually we omitted that ingredient and still another name emerged. We kept the yellow label and removed the small honey bee from the label design.

Let’s just call it Honey Brook Jack! That is the name that stuck, and now this cheese plays a super important role in almost every toasted cheese sandwich you eat at September Farm. Our famous three cheese blend is a combination of Three Year Cheddar, One Year Cheddar, and yes . . . Honey Brook Jack!

Cheese Making Process

At September Farm, cheesemaking begins with fresh whole milk from local dairies, carefully pasteurized to preserve its natural quality. Once warmed to ninety degrees, cheese culture is added to develop flavor and rennet is introduced to set the milk into a custard-like curd. The curds are cut into delicate cubes, gently cooked, and salted to balance flavor and act as a natural preservative. At this stage, we may add special seasonings—like those in our national award-winning Chives and Dill Jack—before pressing the curds into hoops and moving them into aging. Depending on the style, the result is either the rich sharpness of Cheddar or the smooth, creamy character of Monterey Jack, with every block hand-packed, cut, and cared for using time-honored methods.

Monterey Jack Cheese History

Monterey Jack originated in Monterey, California in the 1800s. Spanish missionaries first made the cheese, and later it was produced and sold by businessman David Jack, whose name became tied to the variety. Known for its mild flavor and creamy texture, it has become a staple in American kitchens.
