What it is

Reduced fat Asadero cheese is a semi-soft, mild, white cheese originating from Mexico. It is made from cow's milk and is known for its smooth texture and excellent melting properties. The 'reduced fat' version has had some of its natural fat content removed during processing.

Why it's used

Reduced fat Asadero cheese is often used in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, particularly in dishes like quesadillas, enchiladas, and nachos. Its mild flavor and good melting quality make it versatile for both cooking and as a topping.

Health notes

Reduced fat Asadero cheese is a dairy product and a source of protein and calcium. The FDA considers cheese to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. While it contains less fat than traditional Asadero, it still contributes to overall fat and calorie intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various cheese products, but specific evaluations for 'reduced fat Asadero' are not typically detailed separately.

Allergen info

Asadero cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
