Horseradish cheese spread is a delicious preparation that combines the smoothness of cheese with the spicy and refreshing touch of horseradish. This spread, very popular in various regions, has its roots in American home cooking but has found variants and different names in Latin American countries, depending on local ingredients and culinary traditions. In Mexico, for example, you can find versions with different types of cheeses and spicy sauces, while in countries like Argentina or Colombia, it is mixed with fresh ingredients to accompany meats or as an appetizer at family gatherings.
In some regions of Latin America, this type of spread is simply known as "cheese dip" or "horseradish cheese cream," and it is often enjoyed both at parties and in informal meals. The versatility and balance between the creamy flavor of the cheese and the contrast of the horseradish make it an ideal accompaniment for a wide variety of snacks.
