What it is

Asadero cheese is a semi-soft, white, and mild-tasting cheese originating from Mexico. Cheddar cheese is a relatively hard, off-white (or orange if colored), sharp-tasting natural cheese originating from England. Both are made from cow's milk through a process of curdling, draining, and aging.

Why it's used

These cheeses are often blended together for their complementary flavors and melting properties. They are commonly used in Mexican and American cuisine, particularly in dishes like quesadillas, nachos, enchiladas, and as a topping for salads, sandwiches, and baked goods.

Health notes

Asadero and cheddar cheeses are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are natural sources of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various cheese products. Consuming cheese as part of a balanced diet is not typically associated with adverse health effects at normal intake levels.

Allergen info

Both asadero and cheddar cheese are derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
