I like cheese.
So, in recognition of the publication of The Oxford Companion to Cheese, I thought I would create a series of caches that pay homage to the fromage. The Companion only lists 244 of over 1400 known cheese styles but has over 850 total entries about all things cheese, from confocal microscopy to cheesemaker’s lung to Monty Python’s Cheese Shop skit.
Jack or Monterey Jack is a mild to full flavored cheese with a cream-colored paste that becomes more golden with age. Its name is associated with its early production in Monterey, California although it is also now produced in abundance in Wisconsin – home of the Cheesehead Green Bay Packer fans. It is often infused with flavors such as peppers hence Jalapeno Jack or Salsa Jack Cheese.
