Dry Jack was originally created by accident in 1915 when a San Francisco cheese wholesaler stored and forgot a number of wheels of fresh Jack cheese. When shipments of hard cheese from Europe were subsequently interrupted as World War I intensified, he rediscovered the stored Jack, which had become a well-aged hard cheese his customers found to be a good substitute for classic, aged hard cheeses such as Parmesan. Because of its low content of tyramine, an organic compound thought to be associated with headaches, it is frequently recommended as one of the few cheeses that is safe to eat for migraine sufferers.

Use regular sour cream sparingly because of its saturated fat and high calories. When you use full-fat sour cream, measure your serving with a measuring spoon to avoid adding more calories to your food than you intend. Reduced-fat sour cream has fewer calories and less fat, while fat-free sour cream has the fewest calories, at 11 calories per 1 tbsp. and no fat. Use fat-free sour cream in dishes, or substitute healthier, high-protein Greek yogurt for sour cream with baked potatoes, in baked casseroles and as Mexican dish topping.
