Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Mairin, Here's a description from Cooks Thesaurus. jack cheese Notes: This California semi-soft cheese resembles Muenster. It has a mild, nondescript flavor, but it's good cheese to slice into sandwiches or melt into casseroles. It also goes by California jack, Monterey jack, Sonoma jack, and Mexican jack, depending on where it was produced. Efforts to boost the flavor have produced Pepper Jack = Jalapeno Jack. Don't confuse this with aged jack, which is a grating cheese. Substitutes: Muenster OR Gouda OR Bel Paese OR Samsoe Cooks Thesaurus is an excellent source for ingredient descriptions and substitutes.
