Colby cheese is one of my favorite cheeses and while it looks like cheddar it is made different and has a higher moisture content and a mild sweeter taste than colby. Cheesemaking shares the history of colby cheese which was first made in Wisconsin. It is a nice cheese for beginning cheese making and ages in about a month so its ready pretty quick compared to cheddar. Check out the tutorial on making colby and see if you become inspired to make some for your family. You may also like Homemade Mozzarella String Cheese or Homemade Feta Cheese. Making cheese at home is a very satisfying project.
