Colby Cheese
Colby Cheese is a semi-hard American cheese originally developed in the late 1800s and commonly used in sandwiches, burgers, casseroles and snack platters. It is a concentrated source of protein (23.8g per 100g) and provides meaningful amounts of calcium, with very little carbohydrate. It supplies a high-quality, complete protein and useful minerals, but is relatively high in total and saturated fat, so enjoying it in moderation or swapping to lower-fat cheeses can help reduce saturated fat intake.
