Cotija Mexican Cheese

Cotija Mexican Cheese

Cotija is a Hispanic-style Mexican cheese made mainly from cow’s milk. When the cheese is made, it is white, fresh and salty. After aging, it becomes hard and crumbly like Parmigiano Reggiano, giving it similarity the nickname "Parmesan of Mexico".

Traditionally, Cotija cheese was made with raw milk aged for three to twelve months.

The flavor of Cotija cheese is salty and strong, with a firm texture and consistency that does not melt. It can be used for grating and shredding onto cooked foods, such as salads, soups, tacos, and pasta. In Mexico, it is also used to strengthen the flavour of many savory dishes.
