Sweet Grass Dairy Heat is a handcrafted, semi-firm pasteurized cow's milk cheese flavored with an array of chili peppers and spices. Each wheel is aged at least 60 days, delivering a mild spiciness coupled with a natural smokiness that sets it apart from typical pepper jack. Real chili peppers including Pasilla and Ancho provide the kick, while Chipotle and Paprika lend the signature smoky character.

Heat melts well, making it an excellent choice for nachos, tacos, quesadillas, and other dishes where you want a flavorful kick. It pairs beautifully with IPAs, English Ales, or Summer Ales, and on the wine side, a floral Gewurztraminer or a bold Malbec complement the cheese nicely. Sold by the pound at the Costco deli counter.
