Monterey Jack is an American semi-hard cheese made using [[cows' milk]]. It is commonly sold by itself, or mixed with Colby cheese to make a marbled cheese known as Colby-Jack (or Co-Jack).

In its earliest form, Monterey Jack was made by the Franciscan friars of Monterey, California, during the 1800s. A Californian businessman by the name of David Jack first began to mass market the cheese. He produced a mild, white cheese, which came to be known at first as "Jack's Cheese", and eventually "Monterey Jack".

Another version called Pepper jack mixes [[hot peppers]] with Monterey Jack for a zesty flavour. Pepper jack is often used as an alternative cheese in dishes such as [[quesadillas]].

In the UK, El Paso market Monterey Jack as ''Mexican cheese''. If Mexican cheese or Monterey Jack is called for in a recipe, unless you are really picky, I would use [[Cheddar cheese]] as a substitute. It is markedly cheaper and to my palate, not a great deal different.
