Located in:
Cheese, South America
This fresh cheese from Costa Rica has a mild, fresh flavor and a semi-soft texture. The cheese holds it shape but softens when heated, so it is often used in cooking dishes like quesadillas and enchiladas. Queso Blanco can also be sliced and pan-fried without losing its shape. Children love this cheese because it is easy to eat and has a delicate flavor.

Comments about Queso Blanco:
More flavorful than mozzarella! Grate it when it is cold, then let it sit at room temp while you assemble your other pizza toppings. I used 8 oz on a 12" pizza -- perfect! Also great sauteed briefly in a dash of premium olive oil and served as a side with asparagus or brussel sprouts.

Ate the product without crackers or meat. After chewing for a second noticed a sour bitter taste. Husband liked it but obviously not me.
