Marble cheese is a type of cheese that has marbled patterns, which are produced by combining either two different colored curds, cheese curds, or processed cheeses. It is usually a hard, processed cows milk cheese that originates from the UK. The marbling is usually not achieved with artificial additives, though some cheeses such as Red Windsor and Sage Derby may contain colorings such as Chlorophyll (E140) and Carmine (E120) . The most popular type of marble cheese in the United States is Colby-Jack, which combines Colby cheese and Monterey Jack. Other types of marble cheese are produced from a combination of the curds of white and orange cheddars (for Marbled Cheddar), or similar. Marble cheese is mild in flavor with a semi-soft or firm texture. It can be enjoyed in quiches, omelets, or melted over baked dishes and vegetables. Marble cheese is also a popular addition to charcuterie boards.
