Borden Cheese, Four Mexican Shredded

Borden Cheese Four Mexican Shredded is the kind of refrigerated dairy staple you'll find stacked in the dairy aisle among other shredded cheeses, near block cheeses, butter and refrigerated taco kits. Packaged in an 8-ounce resealable plastic bag, it groups visually with other multi-cheese blends aimed at quick Mexican-style meals. Shoppers reach for it on weeknight taco runs, for game-day nacho platters, or when planning a casual weekend brunch with quesadillas and breakfast burritos. The brand leans on Borden's long-standing dairy heritage — a familiar, Americana dairy name that appeals to families and home cooks seeking convenience and predictable meltability rather than artisanal cachet. The label emphasizes simple-sounding cheese names (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Asadero, Queso Quesadilla) and lists “natural mold inhibitor” (natamycin), which can convey a lightly processed or “protected” image, but there are no organic or specialty diet certifications and no kid-focused characters — the packaging targets practical family shoppers. In plain processing terms, the product is shredded, pasteurized cheese blended with small functional additives to prevent clumping and mold. Sensory cues: pale ivory-to-yellow shreds with a soft, slightly tacky surface, a mild creamy-salty flavor, and a reliably smooth melt that pulls into strings on a hot skillet. Typical rituals include sprinkling over tacos, melting into quesadillas, folding into casseroles, or topping nachos straight from the bag — quick, low-effort ways to add a familiar dairy richness to casual American meals.
