EN: white cheese
The Philippines' answer to mozzarella or feta. This is our local, artisanal white cheese, traditionally made from carabao's milk. It's soft, slightly salty, and often wrapped in banana leaves. Perfect when paired with hot pandesal and a cup of coffee. It's the kind of breakfast that makes you feel nostalgic and proud of local produce.
From Tagalog "keso" (from Spanish "queso") + "puti" (white).
ROOT MEANING: cheese
A specific type of unaged, soft white cheese native to the Philippines.
