White cheese
White cheese includes a wide variety of cheese types discovered in different regions, sharing the sole common characteristic of their white hue. The specific type of white cheese can vary significantly depending on the geographical location.
In Latin America, queso blanco (Spanish) or queijo branco (Portuguese) refers to various white cheeses, with the specific type varying by region.
Queso blanco is considered an easy cheese to make, as it requires no careful handling and does not call for rennet or bacterial culture. It is usually made by heating whole fresh milk to near-boiling, adding an acidifying agent such as vinegar, stirring until curds form, then draining the curds in cheesecloth for three to five hours. Such cheeses are also known as "bag cheeses," as the curds are normally hung in a bag of cheesecloth to drain. As it is highly perishable, it must be refrigerated or used immediately once the whey has drained out.
Queso blanco and queso fresco may be eaten alone or added to other dishes. They are often used as a topping for spicy Mexican dishes such as enchiladas and empanadas or crumbled over soups or salads. Meltable versions are used to make quesadillas. It is used to make cheesecake in some parts of the world.
The following cheese names may refer to queso blanco in the Spanish-speaking world or be considered similar to any of its local varieties: asadero, halloumi, Indian paneer, farmer cheese, pot cheese, quark from Central and Eastern Europe
In Brazilian cuisine, white cheese goes by the name queijo branco (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈkejʒu ˈbɾɐ̃ku]). Minas cheese, a Brazilian cheese, is usually fresh.
On the Caribbean coast, the most popular cheese is queso costeño. It can be either hard and salty or soft and low in salt. People mainly have it with breakfast, in dishes like mote de queso, or grated in foods like arepas and bollos (especially the hard and salty kind). One variation is known as queso de capa de Mompós.
Mexican cuisine features two main variations of white cheese. queso blanco, traditionally made from cow's milk, and queso fresco (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkeso ˈfɾesko]), which may include a combination of cow's and goat's milk. While certain types like Oaxaca cheese melt when heated, the majority simply become soft when exposed to heat. If it is pressed, and more water is removed, it becomes known as queso seco.
