About ASADERO SHREDDED CHEESE
Senor Gusto Asadero Shredded Cheese is a pre-shredded Mexican-style cheese sold under The Kroger Co.'s Senor Gusto brand, a private-label line designed to serve Hispanic food product categories within the company's grocery network. Senor Gusto products are available at Kroger-family stores including Kroger, Ralph's, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, and City Market. This product is classified in the cheese category. Asadero is a semi-soft Mexican cheese originating from the Chihuahua and Oaxaca regions, known for its mild, milky flavor and good melting characteristics, making it suitable for quesadillas, enchiladas, and other melted applications.
Pasteurized milk is the primary ingredient, followed by cheese culture and salt for the standard cheesemaking process, and microbial enzymes for curd formation. Potato starch and powdered cellulose are added as anti-caking agents to prevent the shredded cheese from clumping during storage. Natamycin, a naturally derived antifungal compound, is used as a mold inhibitor on the surface of the cheese shreds. No artificial flavors, colors, or synthetic preservatives beyond natamycin are present. This product contains dairy allergens.
