Asadero cheese (queso asadero meaning "roastable" or "for grilling," also spelled "azadero")[1][2][3][4] is a white, flat Mexican cheese that is made fresh from goat and cow's milk.
The mixture is churned, cooked again and then flattened into flat, round shapes while it is still hot.
[8] Asadero cheese began to be made during the Mexican Revolution in Chihuahua.
[9] Later, the recipe was brought with immigrants to the Southwestern United States.
[9] In the past, recipes for asadero cheese may have used the poisonous silverleaf nightshade berries to curdle the milk instead of rennet.
