What it is
This is a dairy product made from milk that has been curdled and then processed into small curds. It is then mixed with pieces of pineapple. The cheese has a mild, slightly tangy flavor. The pineapple adds a distinct sweetness and tropical fruitiness. It is a fresh cheese, meaning it is not aged. The texture is creamy with the addition of the fruit pieces.
