Spain Abredo requesón cheese is an ideal fresh cheese for spreading made from pasteurised cow’s milk with a fat content of around 45%. Requesón cheese is obtained through a second treatment when making soft cheese.
Requesón cheese is highly versatile in the kitchen for making desserts as well as savoury dishes. For desserts, Spain Abredo requesón cheese is often served as a smoothie with milk and sugar and pieces of seasonal fruits. In many Asturias cider houses, requesón cheese is served with Asturias nuts and honey to satisfy a sweet tooth.

PRODUCT PRESENTATION
Abredo Asturias requesón cheese comes in portions of 500 grams in a plastic container sealed and refrigerated, a temperature at which it must be conserved from when it is made until it is served.
This requesón cheese is low in fat and is served as a cheese spread. It has a very mild flavour and a soft and grainy texture, perfect for use in all kinds of desserts and also to serve as a snack along with other products that pair well with cheese.
Asturias is the main producer of requesón cheese, which is derived from fresh cheese and is mainly produced in Cantabrian regions and those surrounding them (for example the Pyrenees). Asturias requesón cheese is nothing like the Italian ricotta, except that they both start from fresh cheese; they are two completely different products in the way they are made and their flavour.
