About Queso asadero

Queso Asadero is a creamy, mild cheese originating from northern Mexico, often featured in traditional Mexican cuisine. Made from cow’s milk, it boasts a smooth, semi-soft texture and is prized for its excellent melting properties, making it ideal for dishes like quesadillas, enchiladas, and queso fundido. Nutritionally, Queso Asadero provides a good source of calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle repair. However, like many cheeses, it is relatively high in fat and sodium, so moderation is key, especially for those mindful of heart health or managing blood pressure. Its rich, buttery flavor and versatility have made it a favorite for adding indulgent creaminess to recipes. Whether enjoyed melted, grated, or sliced, Queso Asadero is a delicious way to celebrate the savory traditions of Mexican cuisine.
