Colby Nutrition facts
Colby
Colby cheese is semi-firm, washed-curd cheese that originated in the town of Colby, Wisconsin. It is made from pasteurized cow's milk, in a way similar to cheddar cheese.
However, unlike in cheddar cheese, where lactose is converted into lactic acid through increased acidification (cheddaring process), in Colby, it is washed in cold water to a level that permits lactic acid development to produce a desirable pH of 5.0 – 5.2.
