Kraft Mexican Style Four Cheese Blend Shredded Cheese
What it is
This is a blend of four distinct cheeses, finely shredded for convenience. It combines the mildness of Monterey Jack and mild cheddar with the sharper notes of Asadero and Queso Quesadilla. The cheese is made with 2% milk, offering a lighter option compared to full-fat varieties. Its pre-shredded format saves time in the kitchen, making it a go-to for quick meal preparations. The combination of cheeses provides a balanced flavor profile that melts well.
How people cook with it
This shredded cheese blend is perfect for adding a cheesy flavor and texture to a variety of dishes. It melts beautifully, making it ideal for both cooked and uncooked applications.
- Topping for tacos and burritos
- Melting into quesadillas
- Stirring into chili or soup
- Sprinkling over nachos
Simply open the package and sprinkle the shredded cheese directly onto your favorite dishes. It melts quickly when heated, making it excellent for quesadillas, enchiladas, or as a topping for baked potatoes. For a quick snack, it can be added to nachos and broiled until bubbly. It also incorporates well into sauces or casseroles, adding a rich, cheesy dimension. The pre-shredded format ensures even distribution and consistent melting across your food.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a single-variety cheese, this blend offers a more complex flavor profile. The combination of mild and slightly sharper cheeses provides a balanced taste that is less likely to overpower other ingredients. Its 2% milk content also makes it a lighter choice than blends made with full-fat cheeses.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly or transfer the remaining cheese to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. It is best to use the cheese within a few days of opening for optimal flavor and texture.
