HEB Oaxaca Cheese Bites
What it is
These are pre-portioned, bite-sized pieces of Oaxaca cheese. Oaxaca cheese is a semi-soft, white, string cheese that originates from Mexico. It is known for its mild, milky flavor and its excellent melting properties. The cheese is traditionally made by stretching the curd into thin strands and then forming it into a ball. These convenient bites make it easy to add authentic flavor to your cooking without having to shred or cut a larger block.
