Queso Cotija?
|

The local Gigante carries about a half-dozen different bulk cotija cheeses starting at about seventy pesos a kilo. The most expensive costs double that. I suppose in Mexico cotija cheese is something like cheddar is to New Zealand (ultra-aged white New Zealand cheddar costs almost twenty dollars US a pound in the USA).
Are there guidelines somewhere describing the different cotija's? Or is it as I suspect a wide open field with some regionals being favored over others?
I am probably commiting some form of culinary sacrilege when I grate cotija over black beans, but to me this cheese makes an otherwise merely great pot of beans almost irresistable.
Saludos!
David
