What is Jalapeño pepper spreadable cheese?
Jalapeño pepper spreadable cheese is a soft, creamy cheese spread seasoned with jalapeño. The pepper is closely associated with Mexican cooking, but this spread is a modern product rather than a dish with one fixed traditional recipe; the heat can vary by brand.
Its tangy, savoury dairy flavour is balanced by a fresh, peppery kick. Spread it on toast or crackers, use it in sandwiches, or serve it with sliced vegetables as a snack. It is rich and creamy, with a high fat content, and also provides calcium. A thin layer with crisp vegetables or a simple salad makes a lighter pairing, while a little can add plenty of flavour to a sandwich or wrap.
