V&V Supremo Mexican 3 Cheese Blend
What it is
This is a blend of three distinct cheeses, carefully selected to offer a complex and authentic Mexican flavor profile. It typically combines the mildness of Monterey Jack, the sharpness of Cheddar, and the creamy texture of Asadero or Queso Quesadilla. The combination is designed to melt beautifully, making it versatile for a wide range of culinary applications. Each cheese contributes its own character, resulting in a harmonious taste that enhances many dishes.
How people cook with it
This cheese blend is a go-to for adding rich flavor and meltability to a variety of Mexican-inspired meals.
- Topping for tacos and burritos
- Filling for quesadillas

When preparing dishes, this cheese blend can be added directly to your recipes. For quesadillas, sprinkle generously between tortillas before cooking. In enchiladas, it can be mixed into the filling or layered between tortillas and sauce. For tacos and burritos, it's best added towards the end of cooking or sprinkled on top just before serving to allow it to melt slightly. It also works well as a topping for baked potatoes or as a component in dips.
How it differs from similar foods
This blend offers a more nuanced flavor than a single cheese. The specific combination of Monterey Jack, Cheddar, and Asadero provides a balance of creaminess, tang, and mild spice that is characteristic of many traditional Mexican dishes, distinguishing it from simpler cheese mixes.

Home cooks and professional chefs alike use this blend to achieve authentic Mexican flavors.
How to keep the rest
After opening, ensure the package is tightly sealed to prevent the cheese from drying out. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the cheese within the recommended timeframe on the packaging to maintain its freshness and flavor.
