Land O’Lakes Ingredients, Arden Hills, Minn., added Green Chile Queso to its extensive line of cheese powders and seasonings. The green chile, garlic and onion seasoning melts into cheese seasoned with tomato, white pepper, chili powder and jalapeños.

Green Chile Queso is convenient for a variety of applications including snacks, baked goods, sauces, dips and salad dressings.

In a press release, Jim Jarman, marketing and sales leader for the Ingredients team said, “We think it’s the perfect Tex-Mex fusion of flavors. He called ‘spicy’ the No. 1 appetizer flavor in restaurants.

"‘Queso’ has also seen tremendous growth as a salty snack flavor, along with ‘Green Chile’ and ‘Jalapeño’ flavors,” Jarman said.
