I’m not a big cheese lover, but I do have my favorites…like Queso Oaxaca!

I never thought I could love a Latin cheese more than queso fresco and cotija cheese, but Queso Oaxaca had me at hello.

If you’ve never tasted Queso Oaxaca, also known as quesillo, think of it as a Mexican mozzarella. Hand-stretched into long ribbons of string cheese and rolled up like a ball of yarn, it has a subtle flavor, and a wonderful texture. I like Queso Oaxaca more than Mozzarella - by a landslide.

Queso Oaxaca is gooey and mildly tangy when served warm. It’s almost Brie-like. Delicious!

Very versatile, this cheese is also the base for the classic Mexican dish Queso Fundido, a Central American twist on cheese fondue. It was a silver medal winner at the 2002 American Cheese Society Awards.

If you can’t find Queso Oaxaca in your area, it can be ordered online here.

Savor that flavor, folks!
