Argentina is home to endless miles of grazing pastures, where pasture fed cows produce 5,100 million liters of milk per year.
During its 50 years of independence, Argentina became a new home to many Italian farmers, who migrated in order to earn extra money for their families during the off-season. Some chose to stay, but missed their precious Parmigiano Reggiano and began making it locally using traditional methods.
Reggianito means little Reggiano because the wheel has been reduced to 15 lbs. from the enormous 80 lb. drum the Italians produce. The Argentinian wheels are smaller because it was too difficult for oxen to move enormous wheels great distances. Reggianito is cured longer than any other South American hard cheese, resulting in a rich, bountiful flavor. This cheese is slightly saltier than its namesake, but the white crystals in the cheese are not salt grains; they are crystallized free amino acids, which give the cheese its lovely grainy texture. Reggianito is perfect for cooking or grating over pasta. If you like Parmigiano Reggiano, be sure to try the Argentinian version. - Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Cheese from Argentina has been gaining attention as of late, due to Argentina's unique cultural upbringing. While the recipes used to form the cheese are descended from Western European settlers, the cheese itself shows off the beautiful and flavorful taste inherent in the milk from grass-fed cows. Following in this tradition is this parmesan imported from Argentina, which showcases the milk's unique terroir.
This hard table cheese has a salty, nutty, and slightly tangy flavor, due to its careful aging. Produced by the legendary cheese makers at Zerto, this cheese is enrobed in black wax once it has aged to its peak perfection. This seal keeps the cheese from continuing to age and lose moisture as it makes its way up the coast from South America. Somewhat crumbly, this cheese grates easily and is the perfect topping for pastas, soups, or hors d'oeuvres.

Surprise! The majority of Mexican cheeses are mild--not hot and spicy. People familiar with South-of-the-Border foods know that Mexicans prefer their Jalapenos on their cheese, not in their cheese.
Known as the "Parmesan of Mexico", this cheese is strongly flavored, firm, and perfect for grating. It is used in Hispanic cooking in a manner similar to the way Parmesan is used in Italian cooking. Cotija is commonly used to add a lively garnish to common dishes. Simply sprinkle on top of refried beans, salads, quesadillas or enchiladas. In Mexico it is also widely used to enhance the flavor of many savory dishes by mixing directly into the casserole or recipe. In the U.S. it is increasingly popular on pasta. See for yourself how much zestier any pasta or even simple macaroni and cheese will taste with a sprinkle of Cotija! Handmade in Wisconsin, yet full of authentic Mexican flavor. - Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Although this version of gouda from Uruguay is not as complex as its aged Dutch relatives, it has nevertheless amassed a legion of fans for its mild, tangy, milky flavor and silky texture. Compared to Dutch gouda, it is lighter in color and slightly firmer, but with the same exquisite melting quality. Holland Mill gouda from Uruguay can be used for similar applications as other young goudas—as a table cheese with fruit, melted on sandwiches, as a pizza topping or as a creamy addition to hot dishes and appetizers. For a simple and delicious lunch, make a wheat pannini with this gouda, roasted red peppers, and a few thin slices of cured speck.
