About Cojita cheese
Cotija cheese is a crumbly, salty cheese originating from Mexico, often referred to as the "Parmesan of Mexico" for its bold flavor and versatility. Made from cow's milk, it's typically aged to develop its firm texture and sharp taste. Cotija is commonly used as a topping for dishes like tacos, soups, elote (Mexican street corn), and salads, adding a punch of savory richness. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle and bone health. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key, particularly for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Cotija’s strong flavor means a little goes a long way, making it an excellent choice for enhancing dishes without overwhelming nutritional goals.
