Monterey Jack 1840 Smokey Slices

Monterey Jack 1840 is a specific brand of cheese typically found in the United Kingdom market, despite its American-inspired branding. The product features an 'authentic recipe' based on the American Monterey Jack cheese tradition, which dates back to the mid-19th century in California. However, the commercial brand visible in the image is usually produced and packaged within the United Kingdom to cater to the British retail market.

The brand is owned by the Ornua Group, a major Irish dairy cooperative. Ornua is responsible for sourcing and marketing dairy products globally and is well-known for owning iconic brands such as Kerrygold. While the '1840' label and the flag imagery emphasize an American heritage craft, the actual manufacturing and distribution pipeline is managed through Ornua's extensive UK and Irish operations.
