When it comes to Mexican food, no dish is complete without cheese. The right cheese is what makes Mexican cuisine authentic. There are various incredible Mexican cheeses like Asadero, Queso, Colby, and many more.
However,Mexican shredded cheese AKA Mexican cheese blend is the perfect way tobring a range of different cheeses together to deliver an authentic Mexican taste; nothing can beat this shredded cheese blend, and everyone loves it.
It’s made with a perfect blend of Mexican cheeses and can be used to sprinkle on top of nachos, quesadillas or any other Mexican specialty.
Now you might be wondering what exactly is Mexican shredded cheese blend?
It’s a cheese blend that includes Natural Cheddar, Asadero, Queso Quesadilla, and Monterey Jack. These cheeses are grinded up and mixed together in very particular portions, so that the cheese melts or mixes perfectly with any ingredient used to prepare an authentic Mexican dish. All four-cheeses play their own role in making the shred blend shine.
Cheddar cheese – Provides great color and theunique sharp and nutty flavor
Monterey Jack – Gives a very distinct tasteand helps to blend the other three cheeses.
Asadero – Provides a creamy texture that is perfect for melting
Queso Quesadilla – Contributes a nice acidity to the mix
While there are multipe brands in Australia that sell a version of Mexican cheese blends, the cheeses used to make a blend and the portions of cheese included is always different. With all those options available my favorite is Pure Dairy’s Mexican Shred Blend.
It’s the perfect mix of four tasty Mexican cheeses: Natural Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Asadero, and Queso Quesadilla. This shredded cheese blend is the most delicious and melts extremely easily compared to other cheese blends.
When making Mexican foods like tacos, nachos and quesadillas, the combination of rich flavors along with a beautifully melted cheese is what everyone is looking for. Pure Dairy’s Mexican Shred Blend is the perfect ready to use shredded cheese for Mexican dishes. It also goes well with non-Mexican dishes such as casseroles, baked goods, topping for a fresh salad, grilled cheese sandwiches and more.
It melts and blends easily into dishes while giving the dish a combination delicious of flavors and an authentic Mexican taste. The best thing is, you can even freeze the cheese to make it last longer, if you aren’t using it all at once.
