Extra Hot Mexicana
I love cheese and combining it with my other great love chilli’s seems just to good to be true so when I saw Ilchester Cheese had produced a Extra Hot version of their Mexicana it just had to be reviewed.
“Blended Cheese” is a new term for me, I had not through about how they would include the chillies or any of the other flavours they produce into the cheese, but crumbling up cheese and then adding the ingredients before re-forming back into a solid lump seems to work extremely well.
The cheese does have a marbled look about it, the texture is slightly crumbly, in the mouth it tastes great, not an extreme heat, but not a mild one either, it seems to hit the mark perfectly for flavour, while retaining the fact that it is cheese.
Ingredients
Peppadew Pepper (11%) [whole sweet piquant Peppers, white sugar, sprit Vinegar, salt], Antioidant (ascorbic acid), Firming Agent (calcium chloride), Rehydrated Peppers (2.5%) [Red Bell Pepper, Green Bell Pepper, Green Peppers, Red Peppers], Mexican Chilli Seasoning (1.3%) [Spices (Paprika, chilli, Cumin, Black Pepper, Salt, Garlic Powder, Sugar, Red Pepper, Green Pepper, Tomato, Dried Garlic, Tomato Powder, Onion Powder, Herbs, Paprika, Chilli, Silicon Dioxide, Citic Acid)], Chilli.
A few good ideas spring to mind, hot toasted sandwiches, stuffed chillies, hot cheese omlets…..
It also gets me thinking, could they do a Chipotle version?
