About EL MEXICANO, QUESO COTIJA CHEESE
A traditional Mexican aged cheese from El Mexicano, produced in the style of Cotija -- a dry, salty, crumbly cheese from the Michoacan region of Mexico. Made from cultured pasteurized grade A milk with salt and enzymes. Per 100 g it provides 321 calories, 25 g of protein, 21.4 g of fat, and no carbohydrates or fiber. Cotija has a firm, granular texture and an intensely salty, savory flavor similar to feta or Parmesan, making it ideal as a finishing cheese. Zero carbohydrates suit low-carb and ketogenic dietary approaches. Traditionally crumbled over elote (Mexican street corn), beans, tacos, and enchiladas. Not suitable for melting due to its low moisture content.
