Cow milk is soured with lactic bacteria and set with rennet, and the curd is cut, stirred and heated. Part of the whey is drained and cold water is added while stirring, which washes out milk sugar and keeps the curd from matting. The curd is then drained, salted and pressed into forms.

At a glance
Cow milk is soured with lactic bacteria and set with rennet, and the curd is cut, stirred and heated. Part of the whey is drained and cold water is added while stirring, which washes out milk sugar and keeps the curd from matting. The curd is then drained, salted and pressed into forms. Made in 5 steps over 2 months. The longest step, ripen cold, takes at least 2 months (US Code of Federal Regulations) and runs at at least 1.7 °C (US Code of Federal Regulations).
Colby curd is not cheddared into slabs. Part of the whey is replaced with cold water while the curd is stirred, which washes out lactose and keeps the pieces apart. With less lactose left, less lactic acid forms during ripening.
Milk
Cow milk, pasteurised or raw; raw-milk cheese is cured at least 60 days
Composition
US standard: no more than 40 % moisture; at least 50 % milkfat in the solids
Ripening
US standard: at least 60 days at no less than 35 °F if the milk is not pasteurised
Colby-JackColby marbled with Monterey Jack (Wikipedia, Monterey Jack).
Safety
Colby made from raw milk must be cured at not less than 35 °F for not less than 60 days under the US standard. That rule does not by itself make the cheese safe. In a challenge test, raw milk was deliberately contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 at about 20 CFU/ml and made into Gouda and stirred-curd Cheddar. Counts fell below 5 CFU/g after about 94 to 108 days, but it stayed detectable by enrichment past 270 days. In a challenge test on Colby made from pasteurised milk, Listeria monocytogenes did not grow in the vat but was trapped in the curd, and its numbers fell only slowly over 140 days at 4 °C, more slowly in moister cheese.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes; in a challenge test it was trapped in the curd and declined slowly during 140 days at 4 °C.
According to the Colby, Wisconsin historical marker, Joseph F. Steinwand developed Colby in 1885 at his father's cheese factory, built in 1882 in Colby township in Clark County, Wisconsin, and named it for the township. An 1898 issue of the Colby Phonograph noted that a merchant in Phillips sold genuine Steinwand Colby cheese. The US standard of identity for Colby was issued in 1977.
