The texture is semi-firm and slightly springy, and the flavor is gentle enough to let the other ingredients in a dish shine through. Fat content is higher than asadero, reflecting the richer milk and production style. It works in chile rellenos, queso fundido, burritos, and anywhere a reliably smooth melt matters. Outside of Mexican cuisine, it substitutes reasonably well for Monterey Jack or young cheddar.
