I bought a carton of this today as it was on sale and thought it would be
a good time to try it.

Yes, it was creamy and easily spread on a cracker. But good golly that
stuff is HOT!!! I was afraid to breathe through my mouth in fear of
igniting the kitchen curtains. (Bruce, you can stop reading right now.)
Thank goodness I had just bought a half gallon of milk and a small glass
of it tamed the fire.

Now I've got 7 more wedges of that stuff to consume but a glass of milk
will be nearby when I do scarf it down. I don't think this flavor will
find its' way into my shopping cart again.

I don't buy Pepper Jack cheese very often and always regret it when I do.
Last time I made machos and mixed a little of it in with plain cheese and it
was fine.

Laughing Cow is too processed for me. I like pepper jack, mainly for
quesadillas but also for snacking.

That sounds like some good cheese! I have some Dubliner cheese wedges that I got from Costco for dirt cheap. There's like 18 wedges in there. It's a process cheese product that tastes like a combination of cheddar and parmesan cheese. They would go great with crackers but I've been making quesadillas with it. For breakfast this morning, I'll be filling a tortilla with scrambled eggs and the Dubliner cheese. That should be epic!

I've eaten pepper jack several hundred times but this one was a blow your
head off flavor.

You know me, I love milk. I like cheese. Don't mind spicy. I
defintely don't want a cheese snack so hot it makes me shed tears.
Thanks for the anti-recommendation.

I have a cream cheese based cracker spread recommendation that isn't
spicy but is delicious. I beat Bruce to the punch:

Alouette Spinach & Artichoke Soft Spreadable Cheese, 6.5 oz

"See what happens when artichokes and spinach combine to create a
complex farm fresh flavor. Spreadable cheese with spinach and artichokes
blended.

PASTEURIZED CULTURED MILK AND CREAM, SPINACH, ARTICHOKE, SALT, NION,
GARLIC, GUAR GUM AND/OR CAROB BEAN GUM, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE, SORBIC
ACID (TO MAINTAIN FRESHNESS)."

What can I say, I like it. I buy it a couple of times a year.

I buy pepper jack cheese all the time but I'm not a fan of spicy hot.
I buy Tops Markets pepper Jack cheese and it's barely peppery.
Actually I've not found any pepper jack cheese that's peppery hot.
I've found pepper jack cheese is more about the flavor of mild bell
pepper.

This one is a definite sinus opener.

Yes, Popeye we all buy from tops market. That's why we all have the
exact same experiences as yoose.

Sargento pepperjack is pretty spicy. It uses both jalapeno and habanero
peppers.

I sometimes buy the shelf stable for emergency rations but (and I hate to
say it), Velveeta is better than Laughing Cow.
