Cotija is named after the town of Cotija in the Mexican state of Michoacan. This is a firm, crumbly aged grated cheese made mainly from cow's milk. Our Cotija Cheese carries the authentic flavor of Mexican traditions, making it a versatile grated cheese, popular for enhancing the flavor of many Savory dishes. Combining a salty, zesty, and full bodied flavor with a dry, dense texture, Cotija has been nicknamed the "Parmesan of Mexico."
