Don Froylan Cheese: Take-Home Tasting

September 17, Free sample bags available starting at 10:00 am

The Ochoa family has been producing queso fresco since the late 1990s when Don Froylan and Zoila moved their family to Oregon. Unable to find any authentic Mexican cheese, they started making it in their home kitchen with 10 gallons of milk every day. Today they produce some of the most authentic and highest quality Mexican cheese in the U.S., including a hand-stretched queso Oaxaca.
Queso Oaxaca is Mexican string cheese, and it pulls apart like a good mozzarella. It's great for snacking, but we love cooking with it. It's the ultimate melty cheese!
