FUD Oaxaca cheese is a semi-hard cheese that is a staple in Mexican cooking. It is named for Oaxaca, a state in Southern Mexico that is one of several cheese-producing regions in the country. It is not commonly found outside of Mexico. Oaxaca cheese is a good swap for mozzarella in Italian or American recipes. Try it on pizzas, grilled cheese sandwiches, and lasagnas or in traditional Mexican dishes such as quesadillas, tacos, empanadas, and tostadas. You can even use it to make fried cheese sticks...
