About GRATED CHEESE, QUESO COTIJA
Cacique's Cotija is grated and ready to use, made from cultured pasteurized whole and skim milk with sea salt and a small amount of potato and corn starch to prevent caking. High in both protein and fat, with minimal carbohydrate. Cotija is Mexico's answer to Parmesan in terms of use - salty, crumbly, aged - and works best as a finishing cheese on tacos, elotes, beans, or enchiladas rather than melted into a dish. The pre-grated format loses some freshness compared to a block, but the convenience is real.
Ingredients
CULTURED PASTEURIZED GRADE A MILK AND SKIM MILK, SEA SALT, POTATO STARCH, CORN STARCH AND CALCIUM SULFATE (ADDED TO PREVENT CAKING), ENZYMES, AND NATAMYCIN (A MOLD INHIBITOR).
