About Cheese, mexican, queso asadero

Queso asadero is a Mexican melting cheese, generally made from cow’s milk. It is pale, smooth and pliable, with a mild, milky flavour; its texture is designed to soften and stretch when heated, though the degree of stretch varies among products.

It is sold as a fresh or lightly aged cheese, often in rounds, braids or blocks. Queso asadero is used both for eating and cooking, and should not be treated as identical to every other Mexican melting cheese, since recipes and moisture levels differ.
