Oaxaca / String Cheese

Oaxaca Cheese – Authentic Mexican String Cheese

Oaxaca cheese is a traditional Mexican favorite with a soft, stringy texture and a mild, buttery taste. Known locally as “quesillo,” it comes from time‑honored methods that highlight its authentic flavor. Our 1 kg ball is stretched and wound into its signature shape, so you can shred, melt, or pull it apart with ease.

Flavor and Texture

This cheese uses pasteurized cow’s milk and cultured fermentation, not acid setting. As a result, it develops a creamy body with a touch of salt. You can unroll it into sticks and pull them apart like string cheese. When baked on pizza, it gives an arm’s‑length stretch that rivals mozzarella. Because of its rich flavor and smooth melt, Oaxaca cheese works well in both traditional and modern dishes.

Culinary Uses

You can enjoy Oaxaca cheese in quesadillas, enchiladas, tostadas, and grilled dishes. In addition, it melts into a gooey filling for tacos or wraps. Sprinkle it fresh over salads, or pair it with roasted vegetables and spicy meats. Its versatility makes it a staple in Mexican cooking and a welcome addition to fusion recipes.

Healthy Snack Option

Oaxaca cheese also serves as a healthy snack for all ages. Since you can cut it into sticks, it fits easily into lunchboxes or party platters. Children love pulling it apart, while adults enjoy its protein‑rich, satisfying texture.
