Don Froylan Queso Oaxaca, produced by Don Froylan Creamery, is a traditional Mexican cheese that originates from the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. This cheese is known for its distinctive string-like texture and its white, semi-hard consistency.


It is often used in Mexican cuisine for its ability to melt smoothly, making it a frequent choice for dishes such as quesadillas and empanadas. Fabricated by careful hand-stretching of the curd into long ribbons and then wound into a ball, this technique gives Queso Oaxaca its unique, fibrous texture.


With a mild, buttery flavor, it offers a subtle yet delightful taste that complements various dishes without overpowering other ingredients.
