[Profile Review] Deokhwa, The Kwa, The Kwa Four Cheese... Excellent Chewy Cheese Texture

Cheese Lovers Take Note... Burger King 'The Quattro Cheese'
Chewy Mozzarella Cheese Topping... Rich and Savory

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] I was drawn to a familiar voice in an advertisement. Actor Lee Deok-hwa, who stars as the model for Burger King's new menu item ‘The Quattro Cheese,’ shouts “Deokhwa, Dequa, The Quattro Cheese” in a noir film-like atmosphere. The deep, commanding voice of actor Lee Deok-hwa, combined with the wordplay in the ad lines, lingered in my mind, prompting me to visit a nearby Burger King store.

Burger King's new product, ‘The Quattro Cheese,’ is all about ‘cheese,’ as the name suggests. As Korean eating habits have become more Westernized, cheese-based menus have gradually diversified, moving beyond the once wildly popular ‘cheese fondue.’ Cheese is an ingredient that adds excellent flavor, so much so that there is an unwritten rule that any dish tastes better with cheese.

Burger King, known as a ‘cheese specialty’ brand that developed the globally popular ‘Quattro Cheese Whopper’ menu, has reinterpreted this product for the new release, raising expectations. ‘The Quattro Cheese’ comes in two types: ‘The Quattro Cheese’ and ‘The Quattro Cheese X.’ The difference between the two is that The Quattro Cheese X has a thicker patty and includes jalape?os. Wanting to fully enjoy the cheese flavor, I chose The Quattro Cheese.

Upon unwrapping, a savory cheese aroma was noticeable, and the first thing that caught my eye was the bun, which looked distinctly different from a regular hamburger bun. The industry-first ‘cheese bun’ was golden and appetizing, with mozzarella embedded throughout, making it seem delicious even when eaten alone.

Cutting the burger in half revealed that between the cheese buns were beef patties and a generous amount of various cheeses, enough to call it a cheese patty. It contained white cheddar, shredded cheese, and cheese sauce. Although multiple types of cheese were included, which could have made it greasy, it was not the case at all. The secret lies in two things: Burger King's signature flame-grilled patty and the balanced combination of ingredients considering the overall flavor harmony.

Taking a bite, the rich and savory cheese flavor spread throughout the mouth along with the flame-grilled beef patty. Fresh vegetables like lettuce, onions, and tomatoes added a crisp and refreshing taste, reducing greasiness without overshadowing the presence of cheese. The more you chew, the more the abundant cheese harmonizes with the beef patty, fillings, and cheese bun, maximizing the savory flavor.

After trying The Quattro Cheese, I thought it would appeal not only to cheese burger enthusiasts but also to those who enjoy rich flavors. It offers a more complex taste than just a single slice of cheese. Using Burger King's condiment service to add jalape?os allows you to enjoy a spicy kick, and for men, adding 1,000 won to upgrade to the more generous The Quattro Cheese X might be a good choice. The prices are 7,900 won for The Quattro Cheese single item and 8,900 won for The Quattro Cheese X single item.
