Panela cheese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Panela cheese, also called "Queso de canasta", because it carries the imprint of the basket in which it is molded, is a soft, white cheese most often served as part of an appetizer or snack tray. Usually made of cow's milk, it is an unaged cheese similar to quesillo. This cheese is usually made by adding rennet to milk without using a bacterial starter. It absorbs other flavors easily, and is sometimes coated with a garlic-and-chili paste, or wrapped in toasted avocado leaves, to be served with cocktails.
