Review: Incredible as a mixing base, blah on it’s own - Nestle has hit a home run with this Chef Mate Que Bueno Jalapeno Cheese sauce when used as a mixing base. My favorite local restaurant uses this exact product , but they mix in something like Rotel . On its own it’s very bland and off tasting , but when mixed it really shines. I tried mixing 60% que bueno with 40% Rotel hot, added a dash of white vinegar and 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt to a total 16 ounce cheese / Rotel mix and lookout it’s unbelievably good. Note the ingredient panel, everything in bold can be used as a mixing suggestion, it’s secret code for restaurants. Anyway , there are other people out there who know the mixing secrets but aren’t sharing for some reason and Nestle is tight lipped too. I can barely eat this product on its own, but once mixed right it’s really delicious.
Review: Great cheese - Grea tasting cheese not to spicy or jalapeno tasting I highly recommend 😃

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can you tell what size can this is ?How can you tell what size can this is ? Need to know as I am buying a cheese dispenser**
A: 6 or 7 lbs   but the Ortega is better tasting to me (a bit pricer though).  I tried this because of the emphasis on Jalepeno....however I quickly reverted to the Ortega

**Q: Can it be frozen if not used entirely?**
A: I have frozen several different types of canned cheese, including this particular brand, in one quart plastic tubs with lids for up to 3 months at a time with no issues. The quality was just fine when thawed. Maybe others have had issues but I haven't.

**Q: What is the expiration date?**
A: 2024

**Q: Does this have chunks of   Jalapeños  in it?**
A: Chef-mate Que Bueno Jalapeño Cheese Sauce is a homogenous smooth cheddar sauce with pieces of jalapeño peppers and green chili peppers puree. Thank you for contacting Nestle Professional.

Grea tasting cheese not to spicy or jalapeno tasting I highly recommend 😃

### ⭐ Not good
*by C***D on November 13, 2025*

Worst nacho cheese sauce I've ever bought. No taste, no jalapeno flavor all. It's pretty runny, or more spongy. It's obviously bad enough, I took the time to write a review to warn you. Lol It's what I would expect if I had bought it from a dollar tree.
