Queso Criollo

Queso Criollo or Criolla is a Mexican cheese made from fresh, raw milk. The cheese is produced in Taxco, Guerrero, and it's one of the few yellow cheeses in the country. The flavors are mild and salty, but they become stronger as the cheese ages, when it can become very hard in texture.

Criollo is typically grated over tortillas, quesadillas, or beans and rice. If the cheese is unavailable, it can be replaced with Munster cheese.
