How is "shredded" translated in Spanish?

Question

The context is "shredded cheese". I know queso is cheese, but I'm not finding a translation for shredded. Thank you!

Answer 1

Efectivamente "Queso rallado"

Saludos

Answer 2

The package of shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese I saw today in the store had this Spanish label:

Queso mozzarrella en hebras semidescremado con bajo contenid de humedad

Once you strip off the part about low moisture and part skim what you have left is

queso mozzarella en hebras

So I think shredded cheese would be

queso en hebras

literally translated

cheese in strings or cheese in threads

So, that's what I learned from my trip to grocery store today. Maybe it will help.

Wow, the things we think about in the grocery store!! Wonderful! - bandit51jd, Aug 28, 2010

Answer 3

For me, shredded cheese is as stated above queso rallado. For breakfast, I've ordered "papas ralladas" for hashbrowns. Although the potato comes shredded, not grated.

I have heard, and used, the term deshebrada when referring to meat that has been shredded. As in pulled pork or shredded beef for bar-b-que.

My wife (mexicana) makes tacos de carne deshebrada con salsa.

Interesting question.

Let me know when dinner is ready. - 008f2974, Aug 27, 2010

Answer 4

I think it's queso rallado

Yes, I did see the "rallado". I was hoping for something closer to the texture of shredded cheese. When I think of grated, I think of the imitation Parmesan? - bandit51jd, Aug 27, 2010

Well picada es more for meat and I think that's about it as far as I know. - margaretbl, Aug 27, 2010
