cheese blend

Mixed dairy medley

A cheese blend is a mixture of two or more cheeses, combined for flavor, texture, or melting properties.

Pre-shredded blends are common for specific purposes: Mexican blend typically combines cheddar, Monterey Jack, queso quesadilla, and asadero; Italian blend mixes mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan, and Romano.

The combination often melts more evenly than single cheeses.
