Monterey Jack (Reduced-Fat)

Monterey Jack (Reduced-Fat) is a mild, semi-soft American-style cheese commonly used for melting in sandwiches, quesadillas and casseroles; it traces its roots to California and is known for a creamy, buttery flavor. Nutritionally it provides a substantial amount of protein at 22g of protein per 100g and is also a notable source of calcium. As a reduced-fat option it keeps much of the cheese’s protein quality while trimming some of the fat and calories compared with full-fat Monterey Jack, but it can still be relatively high in sodium so use accordingly.
