About QUESO COTIJA

Don Francisco Queso Cotija is a hard, salty Mexican cheese made from whole milk with cultures and enzymes. Often called the Parmesan of Mexican cheeses, it crumbles beautifully over elotes, beans, tacos, and salads. High in protein and fat with very little carbohydrate, it is used as a finishing cheese rather than a melting one. The salt content is pronounced, so a little goes a long way.
