Product Insights
Quesitos is a spreadable melted cheese from Hacendado, sold in Mercadona in 375 g paper‑wrapped packages. The cheese belongs to the Milk and dairy products group, carries a Nutri‑Score of D and is classified as NOVA 4 ultra‑processed, offering about 190 kcal, 11.8 g protein and low sugar per 100 g but also delivering high saturated fat (9.9 g) and a relatively high salt level (1.78 g). While it provides a good calcium source and is certified gluten‑free, its high saturated fat, salt and the use of emulsifying salts (E452, E450, E331) and potassium sorbate (E202) make it a less healthy choice for those limiting these components.
