It does not taste like jack cheese. Is it one of those mexican cheeses that I see at the grocery store with the brand "Cacique."?
Answers:
Cotija~ Known as "The Parmesan of Mexico" it was originally made with goat's milk. Modern Cotija is made with cow's milk. Cotija is firm and strongly flavored, perfect for grating. Great on top of refried beans, chili, salad or Mexican Lasagna-try it with your favorite mac n' cheese recipe. Serve Cotija with Sangria or Beaujolais, avocados, pears and apples, or simply scoop some up with a tortilla and refried beans.
