Oaxacan cheese

Oaxacan cheese, also known as queso Oaxaca or quesillo, is a traditional Mexican cheese originating from Oaxaca. It is a white, semi-soft cheese with a stringy, mozzarella-like texture, making it easy to pull apart. Made from cow's milk, it has a mild, slightly tangy flavor that complements a variety of dishes. Its melty consistency makes it ideal for quesadillas, nachos, and other hot preparations. The cheese is valued for its stretchiness and smooth texture, which enhances the culinary experience in many Mexican recipes while adding a mild dairy flavor.
