Origin[edit]

The article identifies the place of origin as being Wisonsin, but the infobox says it comes from New Zealand. Which is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.18.81 (talk) 22:42, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

After, for[edit]

"He named the cheese for the location at which.....". Shouldn't it be "He named the cheese after the location at which.....". 80.2.202.24 (talk) 18:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shape[edit]

At all the grocers in my area the Longhorn style cheddar tastes like and has the color as the mild cheddar. However it always has two curved edges. Why is this? The Colbys, which are offered by the same brands at the stores, do not taste or look like the cheddars and the Longhorns. They are much milder. 66.43.221.225 (talk) 16:05, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The "See Also" section has a link to American cheese. While Colby is a cheese that was created in America, "American cheese" by definition and law is a process cheese.

History[edit]

I don't think Colby was invented in 2012. Perhaps 1812 or 1912. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.236.60.228 (talk) 03:12, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Team-B-Vital Improvement Drive[edit]

Hello all!

This article has been chosen as this week's effort for WP:Discord's #team-b-vital channel, a collaborate effort to bring Vital articles up to a B class if possible, similar to WP:Articles for Improvement. This effort will run for up to seven days, ending early if the article is felt to be at B-class or impossible to further improve. Articles are chosen by a quick vote among interested chatters, with the goal of working together on interesting Vital articles that need improving.

Thank you! -- ferret (talk) 02:31, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
