Queso Chihuahua : At Mexico, queso Chihuahua is generally known as a fromage blanc à soft dough available in braids, balls or rounds and is native to the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
In Chihuahua it is called queso menonita, named after the Mennonite communities (*) in northern Mexico who first produced it, while elsewhere it is called queso Chihuahua.
Ce cheese is now done by Mennonites and non-Mennonites throughout the state and is popular in all the countries.
(*) Mennonism, sometimes called Mennonitism, is an evangelical Anabaptist Christian movement resulting from the radical Reformation. The name derives from the popular appellation by which the Dutch referred to the Anabaptists in the XNUMXth century, after one of their famous leaders, the Dutchman Menno Simons.
Chihuahua queso is good to be molten and it is similar to a white cheddar soft or to a monterey jack.
It can be used in melted cheese (cheese fondue flambéed), choriqueso (sausage et flamed cheese), quesadillas, Chilaquiles, chili with queso or the Sauces.
Note: Although its name is the same as that of the Chihuahua dog breed, the cheese Chihuahua is not related to Chihuahua dogs. This cheese takes its name from the Mexican region of Chihuahua.
