Most people, they’re gonna feel pretty safe if they’re holding four jacks.

Most people playing poker aren’t interested in what the cards mean. They draw four jacks, they’re going to throw down some cash and try to walk away a winner. But in the case of the Sonoma County Vella Cheese Company Mixed 4-Pack, knowing a little bit about the history can really help you understand the cheese. Let’s take a look at the four jacks and why they are who they are.

Jack of Diamonds – Hector

Tradition says the Jack of Diamonds is Hector, the hero of Troy. Except for the mighty Achilles, no man could stand before him. His god-like power is contained in the diamond symbol, just as the Sonoma County Vella Cheese Company’s Jalapeño Jack hides the fury of Zeus in each jalapeño pepper. Be aware! This isn’t some ordinary ol’ pepper jack! The Sonoma County Vella Cheese Company’s Jalapeño Jack uses only red and green jalapeño peppers, just like Hector only carried weapons handed down from Mount Olympus. This first Jack is about strength and power.

Jack of Clubs – Lancelot

The great hero? Well, in a way. The Jack of Clubs is strong, and good to have at your side when it's needed. But it can also be a great betrayer, bringing a great tragedy upon you and driving away those whom you might most need to love. The cheese that corresponds is simple, because what combines love and hate more than delicious garlic? The Sonoma County Vella Cheese Company Garlic Jack gives you the soft flavor of cheese, then snaps into you with the flavor of tasty garlic. But beware! The smell may linger on your breath and steal your loved ones from you. Keep this second Jack to yourself, maybe, and spare the heartbreak.

Jack of Hearts – La Hire

We’re told La Hire was a French commander during the Hundred Years War. He fought alongside Joan of Arc, and died a Captain General. His name is a play on Ire Dei, or the wrath of God, and of course he was a religious man and a patriot. In a similar vein, Monterey Jack began with Franciscan monks in 1700s California. It’s simple, and one of the few cheeses that happened first in North America. We think you’ll love this Sonoma County Vella Cheese Company High Moisture Monterey Jack. This third Jack is destined to steal your heart.

Jack of Spades – Ogier the Dane

A mythical hero from Scandinavia, Ogier fought against Charlemagne, then made peace to join beside him against the Saracens. He was strong and hard to overpower, but blended nicely with those who shared his common goal. That’s the way pesto works too, and the Sonoma County Vella Cheese Company Pesto Jack will be both invader and defender as required. Use it on pizza, let the smooth jack flavors chase away any boring mozzarella. Take a slice with your favorite Zinfandel, marvel at the way they stand together. This fourth Jack is distinctive and strongly individual, but you’ll find a place it can fit.

The history of the Jacks may not be something you need to know to win a hand, but it certainly gives you something to talk about over wine and cheese. Take this new knowledge and combine it with the Sonoma County Vella Cheese Company 4-Pack. Your guests will be relaxed and impressed… and maybe ready for a little poker.

Play it right, maybe you’ll make money on this deal.

Features

High Moisture Monterey Jack

  • Originated along the central California Coast, and has since spread throughout the United States
  • It is one of the few cheeses which can rightfully be called “American” since it was developed in the United States
  • Although Monterey Jack is an American cheese, it was developed before California joined the Union
  • Franciscan monks in monasteries around the Monterey region first started making the cheese in the 1700’s, creating a cheese which is aged only briefly before being served
  • This cow’s milk cheese is semi-firm with a creamy, mild flavor and high moisture content

Jalapeño Jack

  • This cheese is not pepper jack, Vella uses only red and green jalapeno peppers
  • Vella never over powers their gold medal winning Jalapeño Jack with too many peppers

Garlic Jack

  • Always a favorite with their Vella Cheese retail store customers
  • As with all of our flavored cheeses, they make it so you can taste the flavor of the cheese before you get the punch of the garlic
  • This cheese might be a bit tricky to find a wine to go with it.  Are you up to the challenge?  But a nice tall cold beer will do the trick

Pesto Jack

  • Try some Pesto Jack on your pizza in the dead of winter to bring back that taste of warm summer days
  • Add a slice of pesto jack and a nice glass of your favorite cabernet or Zin for a warm summer night treat
  • Not a fan of mozzarella?  Put sliced pesto jack with those sliced tomatoes and drizzle with a hearty olive oil and you may not go back

Vella Cheese

Founded:
1931
Owners:
The Vella Family
Location:
Sonoma, CA

Since 1931, Vella Cheese has been a companion to the finest foods in the world. As an ingredient, sprinkled on top, or served alongside, the full fresh flavor and smooth creamy texture of Vella Cheese is guaranteed to satisfy. The success of Vella Cheese lies in the personal attention each day's production is given. Quality starts in the pasture. Every cow is not the same. Every day is not sunny; every blade of grass is not green and lush. But, if you insist on the finest breeding of herds, the finest feeds, the greatest care in milking and transporting the top grade milk, so that you have the best possible natural raw material, you have set the stage for super cheese.  What has built our reputation over the years since my father had his first conversation with the dairymen has been our hour-to-hour personal attention. We're proud when you're pleased with our product.
