Marble cheese is a name given to cheeses with marbled patterns. These are produced by combining either two different colored curds, cheese curds or processed cheeses.
Marble cheeses originate from the UK. [1] They are usually hard, processed cow's milk cheeses. Colby-Jack which combines Colby cheese and Monterey Jack is most popular in the United States. [1]
Others are produced from a combination of the curds of white and orange cheddars (for Marbled Cheddar), or similar. [1] [2] The marbling is usually not achieved with artificial additives, though cheeses such as Red Windsor and Sage Derby may contain colourings such as Chlorophyll (E140) and Carmine (E120). [3] [4]
