About QUESO COTIJA
Casa Melinda Queso Cotija uses pasteurized milk, salt, culture, and enzymes - the minimal, traditional approach to this Mexican firm cheese. The fat content is high, protein is solid, and there are no carbohydrates worth noting. Cotija is salty and dry, used primarily as a finishing cheese: crumbled over elotes, black beans, tacos, or enchiladas rather than melted. The flavor is sharp and distinctly savory, more comparable to a dry feta or Parmesan in function than to mild Mexican melting cheeses.
Ingredients
PASTEURIZED MILK, SALT, CULTURE, ENZYMES.
