(based on 8 ratings)

Located in: Cheese, USA

A smooth, slightly yellow cheese with more tang than mild Queso Quesadilla cheese, Asadero is ideal for baking because its strong, rich flavor adds to the appeal of baked dishes. Asadero is also excellent for quesadillas and tacos because it melts nicely without separating oils.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Whole form is 5 lbs.

This cheese is the perfect offering for cocktails with friends-tangy yet creamy, nutty yet buttery, with a delightful, firm texture. I served it sucessfully to a group that was drinking wine, beer and Sangria!

new taste treat

A little too salty for my taste

By Woodworker George

from Clymer, N.Y. on 4/26/2007

Pros:

Creamy

Cons:

Salty

Best Uses:

Melted

Describe Yourself:

Chef, Health Conscious, Simple Tastes

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Asadero:

Well, maybe I just don't understand this cheese. I prefer hard cheese and this is quite soft. That's okay...soft can be good too. For instance many blue cheeses are soft. But for me all I really noticed was a salty and not too "cheesy" a taste.

Delicious! A good bargain!

By Yummy Dummy

Melts very well, Mozzarella-like

Cons:

Too mild

Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Foodie

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Asadero:

A subtle change of pace from Mozzarella. In my opinion, it does not have a "strong, rich flavor" as the description states. Good, though.
