About GRATED COTIJA AUTHENTIC MEXICAN-STYLE AGED CHEESE, MEXICAN-STYLE
Tropical's Grated Cotija is a hybrid product: the ingredient list reveals a blend of real cotija cheese (pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes, cultures) alongside imitation cotija made with cornstarch, cellulose, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, sodium caseinate, and a string of stabilizers. The partially hydrogenated oil is worth flagging given its trans fat implications. Protein is solid and fat is moderate. It grates fine over tacos or elote, but calling it authentic stretches the truth given the imitation cheese content.
