A major group of Hispanic cheeses are melting cheeses. These Hispanic cheeses melt without separating into solids and oil. Hispanic melting cheeses are generally mild tasting and smooth textured. They are often eaten as a snack right out of the package. Usually, as their name suggests, they are melted in hot dishes. Hispanic melting cheeses, unlike common U.S. cheeses such as cheddar, do not separate into oil and solids when they are heated. Consequently, they make dishes like pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches, and cheese burgers "cheesier" and less greasy. Of course, they are invaluable in preparing Mexican dishes such as quesadillas and tacos.

Use of Hispanic melting cheeses like Queso Quesadilla or Asadero in popular dishes like quesadillas or nachos greatly increases the finished dishes' appeal. The diner is presented a plate with more cheese in the right place--on the tortilla or the chips--and less greasy oil all over the plate! Queso Quesadilla is a smooth, soft, mild and white cheese. Also known as "chihuahua cheese," it is a family favorite throughout Mexico both for snacking and because it melts easily to make your favorite dishes rich and creamy.

aka Queso Chihuahua........YES!!!!

By MJA from Dallas, TX on 8/8/2007

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was raised eating Queso Chihuahua in the Chicago area. Did not find it in PA or NY when I lived there. Now I'm in TX and it was hard to find but I did find it at Central Market in the DFW area. It's a little expensive though because they sell it in small chunks. But now I found it here at [@] and it seems like a great price. It's the best cheese for quesadillas, enchiladas, refried beans, etc. I HIGHLY recommend this cheese. It doesn't get hard after having melted. I also recommend El Milagro Tortillas to use with it. They don't get hard right away after heating like most others do.

Simple Tastes

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have been looking for Chihuahua cheese ever since I lived there. I have scoured local grocery stores and tiendas for the cheese, it was never there. I have since found it here under the name Queso Quesadilla. It's amazing, beats any cheese used for a quesadilla in any restaurant and I now am able to make authentic queso fundido con chorizo.
