Asadero is a mild Mexican cheese made for heat. The name comes from asar, a Spanish verb for roasting or grilling, and that kitchen use is the identity of the cheese. Pieces are often flat rounds or tidy blocks, pale and smooth, with no real rind. The body is semi-soft when cold, and it softens and stretches once it is warmed. Cooks reach for it when a dish needs melt more than a strong aged flavor.
