Apple Jack

Apple Jack from Mousehouse Cheesehaus is a Wisconsin original, a stretched-curd cheese developed on the Apple River from a blend of Swiss, Monterey Jack, and Cheddar cultures. The result has the smooth, elastic texture of Mozzarella and melts beautifully across Italian and American dishes. Despite the name, it carries no apple flavor.
