Why good queso?
We think our queso is the best around, but it's so much more than a tasty dip and a margarita's best friend. It's queso you can feel good about (not just because it is melty deliciousness). It's made with local cheddar and colby cheese from Sunset Farm in Ronks, PA; there's no industrialized processed junk. To make our Good Queso even more gooder, we donate five percent of all it's sales to local causes.

THE START
Philabundance
The concept for Good Queso came from Abundantly Good Cheddar, our OG Cheese, made locally in collaboration with Philabundance. For every pound of cheese produced, $1 worth of cheese was donated to Philabundance. We obviously love Queso, and doing Good, so we joined them forever. Thus creating Good Queso, queso that tastes good and does good.
