V&V Supremo Oaxaca String Cheese
What it is
This is a fresh, white, semi-soft cheese made from cow's milk. It is traditionally made by stretching the curd into thin strands. The cheese has a mild, milky flavor and a slightly elastic texture. It is often sold in a braided or knotted form, making it easy to pull apart into strings.
How people cook with it
Oaxaca cheese is a versatile ingredient that melts beautifully. It is a staple in many Mexican dishes.

Oaxaca cheese is ideal for dishes where a good melt is desired. Its stringy nature makes it fun to pull apart and layer. When heated, it becomes wonderfully gooey and stretchy, providing a satisfying texture. It can be incorporated into baked goods, used as a topping for savory dishes, or enjoyed on its own. Its mild flavor complements a wide range of ingredients without overpowering them.
