What was that?

That picture from yesterday 

is a few hunks of some queso Oaxaca. It's Oaxaca {wuh-ha-kuh} style cheese. Oaxaca is a state in México, aka our neighbors to the south. There are many types of cheese that hail from south of the border and many are unique to their region of origin. Wiki Wiki Wiki tells you THIS about it. THIS too. I've sadly never been to Oaxaca but I sure do love the food {mole!} {& agave!} from the state. 
Mickey and I made enchiladas this weekend and in our quest for some ingredients we ended up at Mi Pueblo's supermercado/grocery store. I couldn't help but ask for a bit more cheese than we really needed {about 3/4 of a pound more}. This cheese can come in a bun-type shape but it can also come in these ropes. Much like another cheese very near and dear to our hearts this cheese is a bit, ahem, stringy. It pulls away gloriously and tastes even better than mozarella string cheese. Plus it's much more fun to go to the counter and order in español. And a bit cheaper to boot.
¡Qué delicioso!
