Ghost Pepper Monterey Jack Cheese

Some like it hot! The heat of Ghost Peppers contrasts with the creaminess of Monterey Jack cheese. Melt it on your next steak or burger, or add to your favorite casserole!

Natural Ghost Chili Pepper Monterey Jack Cheese

Product Description: Ghost Peppers are known to be among the world’s spiciest peppers. Ghost Pepper Monterey Jack maintains the semi-soft texture of traditional Monterey Jack studded with tiny pieces of ghost pepper. When you first bite into it, you’ll experience a creamy and smooth texture followed by a fiery heat that builds up over time, leaving an intense, lingering spiciness. This cheese will surely be a favorite for anyone who enjoys an elevated level of heat and spice.

Pairings and Complementary Flavors

Cocktails: Margarita, Bloody Mary, Gin and Tonic, Moscow Mule, Whiskey Sour

~ A Gin and Tonic with botanical flavors and a refreshing profile offers a soothing counterbalance to the heat of the ghost peppers.
~ Similarly, the tartness of lemon and the sweet-sour balance of a Whiskey Sour cocktail cuts through the ghost pepper’s heat.
~ The ginger beer and zesty lime in a Moscow Mule provide a refreshing contrast.

Wine: Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Zinfandel, Chenin Blanc, Moscato
~ The aromatic nature of Gewürztraminer, known for its sweetness and floral notes, helps balance the heat from the ghost peppers.
~ A slightly sweet, off-dry Riesling with its high acidity and fruity notes helps temper the cheese’s spice.
~ A robust, fruity Zinfandel holds its own against the spicy cheese.
~ A medium-bodied, sweet version of Chenin Blanc provides a refreshing contrast to the spiciness of the cheese, while the sweetness and light fruity flavor of Moscato offers a nice counterbalance to the fiery heat.

Beer: IPA, wheat beer, Saison, fruit beer, Stout
~ A hoppy IPA stands up to the heat of the ghost pepper. The beer’s malt backbone balances out the intense flavors.
~ The light, often citrusy, notes of a wheat beer provide a refreshing contrast, while Saison, known for its fruity and spicy notes, complements the cheese flavors.
~ Fruit beers offer a sweet counterpoint to the heat of the ghost pepper.
~ A rich, robust Stout stands up to the powerful flavor of the cheese with its natural sweetness, balancing the heat.

Accompaniments: bread, crackers, tortilla chips, fruit, nuts, honey, pickles

~ The crunchy texture and corn flavor of tortilla chips complement the cheese’s warmth.
~ Mangoes, pineapples, apples, pears, or grapes provide a sweet and juicy contrast to the spice of the cheese.
~ Almonds or walnuts complement the creamy texture and provide a bit of respite from the cheese’s flavors, while honey provides a sweet counterpoint to the fiery heat.
