The official cheese of Philippine Christmas. This is the red, waxy ball of salty goodness that magically appears on every Noche Buena table, sitting right next to the hamon. You know the holidays are near when you see stacks of keso-de-bola at the supermarket. It's a status symbol and a Christmas staple, even if you only eat it once a year.
From Spanish "queso de bola" (ball of cheese).
