About Cheese, mexican, queso chihuahua

Queso Chihuahua is a Mexican cheese traditionally associated with the state of Chihuahua and commonly made from cow’s milk. It is usually pale yellow, semi-soft and smooth, with a mild, buttery dairy flavour that can become more pronounced with aging.

It may be sold in blocks or rounds and is used both at the table and for melting. The name covers products that vary in aging and firmness, so a young, mild cheese may differ from a more mature version; it is not simply a generic name for all Mexican cheeses.
