El Mexicano Queso Panela is a traditional Mexican soft fresh cheese, also known as "queso de canasta" (basket cheese), named after the basket molds used in its production. This slightly salted curd-style cheese is made with USDA Grade A pasteurized part-skim milk from cows not treated with rBST, sea salt, and enzymes. The cheese features a mild, milky flavor with a firm yet crumbly texture that holds its shape when heated, making it ideal for pan frying or grilling without melting completely.

This versatile cheese can be cubed, crumbled, or sliced, making it perfect for salads, sandwiches, soups, wraps, and authentic Mexican recipes. It can be pan-seared to golden perfection for added flavor and texture, or enjoyed as a snack paired with fresh fruit or quince paste. The 3-pound vacuum-sealed package contains approximately 48 one-ounce servings and should be kept refrigerated.

Certified Halal, Gluten-Free, and Real California Milk. Vegetarian friendly.
