🧀 Meet the Tri-State Heat Lineup

Pepper Jack

Our Pepper Jack starts with a white Colby base — smooth, creamy, and perfect for melting. Then we blend in red and green jalapeños, giving it a classic pepper jack kick without overpowering the flavor.

It’s a great all-purpose spicy cheese:

• Melt it into quesadillas or grilled cheese

• Add it to scrambled eggs or breakfast sandwiches

• Slice it for burgers, crackers, or cold sandwiches

Mild enough for most spice levels, bold enough to make it interesting.

Habanero Cheese

Ready to step it up? Our Habanero cheese delivers serious heat. This one isn’t just “spicy” in name — it brings real habanero flavor to every bite.

Use it when you want to turn up the intensity:

• Dice into an omelet for a spicy breakfast

• Add to chili or spicy mac and cheese

• Slice thin for a grilled cheese with a fiery edge

Creamy, punchy, and unforgettable.

Thunder Jack

And now… the heavyweight.

Thunder Jack is our boldest blend yet: a Colby Jack base infused with jalapeño, habanero, and chipotle peppers. It’s a triple-pepper combo that brings heat, smokiness, and depth — without ever losing the creamy, melty goodness you want in a cheese.

Here’s what one of our customers had to say:

Tony S., Fishers, IN
An epiphany... an awakening.
I've had pepper jack cheeses before, but many times one hardly tastes the peppers!
Thunderjack is a wonderful blend of creamy goodness and kickin' heat! The combination of jalapeño, habanero, and chipotle is spot-on and I seriously doubt you'll find a better pepper jack!

If you’ve tried spicy cheese before and felt underwhelmed — Thunder Jack will change that.

Perfect for:

• Melting over a smoky burger

• Making the ultimate loaded nachos

• Eating straight from the block if you’re brave (and smart)

🍽 Ways to Use Spicy Cheese Beyond Nachos

While nachos are never a bad idea, spicy cheese has way more to offer. Here are a few simple ways to get creative:

• Spicy grilled cheese: Try Habanero or Thunder Jack with a slice of tomato and sourdough

• Burgers with a kick: Pepper Jack or Thunder Jack makes a killer cheeseburger topping

• Spiced-up breakfast: Toss diced spicy cheese into eggs, hashbrowns, or breakfast casseroles

• Snack board hero: Pair with cured meats, pickled veggies, and sweet jam for a board with attitude
