The new line features four cheese varieties popular for their
versatility and melting capabilities important in Hispanic
cooking:
- Quesadilla – Rich and creamy, Quesadilla cheese can be
used in most recipes that call for melting cheese.
- Oaxaca – Named after a
region in Mexico, Oaxaca melts effortlessly into casseroles,
refried beans and soups.
- Asadero – A rich Mexican-style melting cheese, Asadero
is ideal for adding buttery flavor to queso, enchiladas and your
favorite Mexican fare.
- Muenster – Though not a traditional Hispanic cheese,
Muenster has been adapted to authentic dishes because of its mild
flavor and high melting factor.
"Our research shows that consumers are looking for ways to make
more authentic and ethnic meals at home, and also prefer to use
shredded cheese when cooking," said Katie
Egan, Senior Brand Manager for Crystal Farms. "Crystal
Farms' new shredded varieties will meet that need and offer more
options for enhancing ethnic meals."
