A classic Pepper Jack cheese, with a touch of Scratch House flair makes this cheese a cornerstone of our menu. The key to this cheese’s unique flavor is Donna Jean’s Fresno Hot Sauce. Fermented for 4 months, the Fresno Chiles are pureed with vinegar, and the seed pulp imparts a fruity, salty, and fully fermented flavor. Sweet red bell peppers and a touch of fresh rosemary finish out the full bodied flavor profile, for a peppery Jack cheese that works equally well on a charcuterie board, in pasta, or melted for a quesadilla.
