Spanish for baking, asadero is a rich Mexican-style melting cheese similar to queso oaxaca that is used for cooking. This cottage industry cheese comes in several variations. "Quesadilla," a relatively mild version of asadero, originated in Northern Sinaloa, Mexico. In Wisconsin, asadero is produced by combining the skill of our cheesemakers with the imported techniques of traditional Hispanic cheesemaking.
