Queso Asadero

Asadero is an off-white, semi-firm Mexican cheese often sold in a log shape for convenient and easy slicing. It is an excellent cooking cheese: when it melts, it becomes quite creamy without giving off any oil, even at higher temperatures.

It has a light, fresh taste with just a bit of tang to it. It is very creamy, and layered almost like fresh Mozzarella.

Made particularly in the Chihuahua area of Northern Mexico. In some parts of Chihuahua, a plant is used to curdle the milk instead of animal rennet.
