Queso Campesino
| Muenster Enchilado by Queso Campesino is a semi-soft, cow's milk cheese made in Colorado, USA. It combines American Muenster cheese's mild, creamy texture with a spiced paprika-coated rind, reflecting Mexican "Enchilado" style. Made from pasteurized whole milk and traditional animal rennet, it ages 2-8 weeks and meets FDA standards for moisture and fat. The cheese melts well, suiting dishes like quesadillas and enchiladas. It features a mild, buttery interior with a savory, slightly piquant rind. Pairings include aromatic white wines, light reds, Mexican lagers, and malty ales. The bright orange rind is edible and flavorful. | |
