Queso Cotija (aged cheese)

Queso Cotija is named after Cotija, Michoacan where it originates from. This zesty, robust cheese is granular in texture and very similar to parmesan cheese. Cotija is much saltier than most Mexican cheeses and does not melt. At Cheesemakers, we believe we’re the best Cotija cheese brand around — and if you’re searching for authentic Cotija cheese, you’ll find it right here.
