Chef’s Secret

For superior melt on pizzas or casseroles, shred your own block cheese just before use; pre-shredded often contains starches.

Substitutions

Best Match

Monterey Jack

1:1

Offers similar melt and mild flavor, good for many dishes.

Colby Jack

1:1

Combines mildness and good melting, visually similar marbling.

Provolone (mild)

1:1

Excellent melt, slightly tangier, good for Italian dishes.

Nutritional Yeast (with cashews)

Varies

Dairy-free option for cheesy flavor, lacks melt/texture.

Buying Guide

Choose blends with real cheese, avoiding anti-caking agents for best melt. Store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.
