Panela Cheese

About Panela Cheese

Panela is a fresh, white cheese from Mexico, made from cow's milk. It has a firm yet crumbly texture that is well-suited for slicing into salads or crumbling over dishes. The cheese has a mild and fresh aroma, making it a popular choice for those who prefer subtle flavors. Panela does not melt easily, so it's often used in cooking where it maintains its shape, such as in grilling or frying. It pairs well with fruits and vegetables, adding a gentle creaminess without overpowering other ingredients. Known as Queso Panela in Spanish, this cheese is versatile in various culinary applications.
