About Queso Anejo, aged Mexican cheese
Queso añejo is a firm, aged Mexican cheese, traditionally made from cow's milk and sometimes sold in a salted, crumbly form. It is usually pale and dry in texture, with a pronounced salty, tangy and savory flavour that becomes more concentrated with aging.
It is commonly crumbled or grated over foods and can also be used in cooking. Aging time, milk, salt level, and whether the cheese is pressed or coated vary among producers, so the name covers products with some differences in firmness and taste.
