Colbly
Traditional, creamery, semi-soft cheese made from cow's milk. The sizes vary, but they are
generally block-shaped and free of rind. It was named after the town in Wisconsin, USA
where it was first made. It is a washed-curd cheese, which means that the curds are
thoroughly rinsed in fresh water to remove all excess whey and any stray lactose. This
prevents the acidity in the curd from rising, so the cheese remains soft and springy, with
a sweet and mild flavor. Colby has a higher moisture content than Cheddar and feels more
elastic. It is also sweet, rather than savory.
