Cotija Cheese
Say: Co-Tee-Ha
Cotija is a traditional Mexican cheese known for its crumbly texture and bold salty flavor. Named after the town of Cotija in Michoacán, Mexico, this cheese is commonly used in Mexican cuisine as a topping to enhance the flavor of dishes.
It has a dry, firm, and crumbly texture with a creamy yet piquant saltiness that adds depth to foods like tacos, street corn, beans, and salads. Cotija is typically sold in blocks, wheels, or pre-crumbled form and is made from cow's milk. The cheese is aged for about four months, which helps develop its distinctive flavor and texture.
Oaxaca Cheese
Say: Wah-Ha-Ka
Oaxaca cheese is a traditional Mexican cheese known for its unique stringy texture and versatility. Originating in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, it traces its roots to indigenous cheesemaking techniques that produce a stretchable, strand-like cheese similar to string cheese.
This cheese has an elastic, pliable texture that pulls apart into strands, making it perfect for melting in dishes like quesadillas, fundido, and baked recipes. Oaxaca cheese offers a mild, creamy flavor with a subtle tang and is usually sold in large balls tied in knots.
Quesadilla Cheese
Say: Kay-Sah-Dee-Ah
Quesadilla cheese is a mild, smooth melting cheese designed specifically for traditional quesadillas and fondues. Originating in Mexico, it is prized for its excellent melting qualities, creating a creamy, rich texture in cooked dishes.
This cheese has a soft, creamy consistency that melts evenly without becoming greasy. Its mild, buttery flavor complements a variety of foods while allowing other ingredients to shine. Quesadilla cheese is typically sold in blocks or shredded form and is made from pasteurized cow's milk.
