HISTORY
Cremoso cheese is one of the true classics on the Argentine table. Its origins are inspired by European soft cheeses, adapted to the country’s abundant dairy production. Over the years, it has become the quintessential fresh cheese in Argentine homes, appreciated for its delicate flavor and versatility in the kitchen. Today, it stands among the most widely consumed cheeses in Argentina and is a proud part of the nation’s culinary identity.
APPEARENCE
It comes in 4 kg wheels, with a white color and a buttery, elastic texture. Its high moisture content gives it a soft and pleasant body when sliced. The flavor and aroma are mild, with fresh and delicate dairy notes — ideal to accompany both savory and sweet dishes.
USE
Cremoso cheese is ideal for preparing pies, empanadas, and pizzas, as it adds creaminess without overpowering other ingredients. It also works beautifully for gratins and melted hot dishes. In its freshest form, it pairs perfectly with traditional Argentine sweets like quince or sweet potato paste, forming part of the classic Argentine dessert combination.
