On par with Kraft
By Mike Thayer
I’m a cheese freak, I enjoy just about any kind of cheese out there. The USDA recommends eating three servings of dairy products a day and I do that, primarily with cheese.
Today I’m reviewing Happy Farms Colby Jack Cheese. I’ll let you know right up front that I’m a fan of Happy Farms cheeses, I’ve sampled just about every variety and form they make but I’ve never done a review for any of it. Why I haven’t I can’t explain, but I’m correcting that today.
Happy Farms is an Aldi brand, specializing in a full line of cheeses in all kinds of varieties and preps, bricks, sliced, shredded, string, snacking and more.
Considered a semi-hard cheese, Colby Jack is a blend of Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses. It’s a mellow cheese, mild in flavor with a buttery finish. It’s great for snacking, really nice on a sandwich and melts well, lending itself to being a go-to cheese for a variety of savory dishes.
This cheese delivers on flavor and texture, the marbling of the two cheeses is nicely balanced. it’s on par with Kraft and costs a lot less. I’m thinking nobody would be able to tell the difference between Happy Farms and Kraft in a blind taste test.
I’ve snacked on this cheese, it’s a good bite on its own, great with crackers, it slices, cubes and shreds nicely. I’ve put it on a boatload of sandwiches and I use it frequently for a melted topper on a number of dishes or as a cheese component in a variety of casseroles.
Costing me $1.99 for an 8 ounce brick at Aldi, I’m giving Happy Farms Colby Jack cheese 5 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars. It’s tasty, versatile and less expensive than Kraft. In a cost comparison, you’ll pay about $3.49 for an 8 ounce brick of Kraft at the mainstream grocery store. That’s a significant savings without any sacrifice in quality or flavor. If you appreciate discount/store brands, Happy Farms is also cheaper than Kroger, which will cost you $2.49 for that 8 ounce brick.
