Vella Dry Jack is a firm, aged cheese with a rich and nutty flavor profile. Made from cow's milk, it originates from Sonoma, California, and is often compared to Italian Parmesan or Spanish Manchego due to its sharp, complex, and slightly tangy taste. The cheese has a hard, golden-brown rind, sometimes rubbed with cocoa powder or oil during aging to enhance its earthy notes. Its interior is dense, crumbly, and pale yellow, making it perfect for grating over pasta, salads, or soups, or enjoyed in thin slices on a charcuterie board.
