Oaxaca cheese or Queso Oaxaca is a Mexican rindless white cheese which is similar in texture to Mozzarella making it an ideal ingredient for stuffing dishes such as quesadillas or empanadas. When Oaxaca melts it becomes creamy without giving off any oil making it an excellent cooking cheese , even at high temperatures.
Queso Oaxaca is an artisan cheese made from cows milk using the same string cheese process used to make Mozzarella cheese which involves stretching the cheese into ribbons and rolling it up into a ball. When formed into blocks suitable for slicing this cheese is commonly known as Asadero or Queso Asadero.
