Cacique Foods, known for its Hispanic cheeses, cremas and chorizos, launched a line of Mexican-style cheeses to offer versatile, protein-rich alternatives to generic options in the store. Cacique's shredded Mexican Style Four Cheese, for example, blends quesadilla, oaxaca, asadero and menonita to enhance everything from tacos and enchiladas to nachos, while the grated Queso Cotija was made to bring bold, sharp flavor to favorites like beans and Mexican roasted corn. Across the lineup, these no-artificial-flavor cheeses are packaged in resealable 7oz, 16oz and 32oz bags.
Kitchen to Cocina, Cacique's largest creative and paid media campaign in years, supports the launch of the brand's new, authentic Mexican shredded and grated cheeses, and it shares how to use them to transform everyday meals into restaurant-quality dishes.
