Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 It's a mild, white cheese. About the same consistency as mozzarella. I would think you could substitute mozzarella. I found a web site that says it's a bland American cheddar.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 When I substitute for Monterey Jack, I use mild cheddar. Monterey Jack tastes more like cheddar than it does mozzerella, and it has more of a cheddar texture. >Hi Guys > >Can someone please tell me what sort/type of cheese Monterey Jack is? > >It's not available in Australia, so what do I use as a substitute? > > >thanks >mairin > >>> 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno >>> >>> Barbara Zanzig Kirkland, WA, USA hertz http://www.isomedia.com/homes/hertz/ ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸, ******************************************************************************* To post to list via e-mail: send e-mail to " Veg-Recipes " To post to list via website: Veg-Recipes/post To contact List Owner: " Veg-Recipes-owner " Subscribe or Un through site: / OR Un via e-mail: Veg-Recipes- Calendar: Veg-Recipes/calendar Bookmarks: Veg-Recipes/links Photos: http://photos.Veg-Recipes/lst Read or search old messages: Veg-Recipes/messages **************************************************************************** To purchase cookbooks via Amazon.com, <A HREF= " http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=vegrecipes-20 & path=subst/ho\ me/home.html " ><img src=gngrey120x60.gif border=0></A> -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I have a couple of recipes I'd like to try that call for Monterey Jack cheese which of course is not available in Scotland. What is the nature of Monterey Jack cheese perhaps in terms of texture/strength/meltability? Compared, say to Cheddar, feta, emmental, brie or parmegiano (trying to think of a variety of tastes and textures that we might all know? TIA Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 it's a white mild cheese, the texture is like a mild cheddar, not a hard aged cheese. To me it tastes close to provolone. You can more than likely use a mild cheddar in it's place in a recipe. I often do that.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Thanks, Donna, I thought it might be something like that but wanted to be sure.
