Washed Curd Colby Cheese Block from Mexico

A 5-pound block of washed-curd Colby cheese made from cow's milk, featuring a semi-firm texture and mild, nutty flavor typical of American-style cheeses. It falls under HTS 0406.90.54.00 as 'other' Colby cheese, distinct from fresh Colby due to its washed curd production process that removes excess whey for a smoother consistency.
