EN: white cheese
The OG Filipino cheese. It's that soft, slightly salty white cheese usually made from carabao's milk, wrapped in banana leaves. Perfect partner for hot pandesal. It's the artisanal, farm-to-table cheese before 'artisanal' was even a thing. Think of it as the mozzarella of the Philippines, but with more character and probinsya vibes.
From Spanish 'queso' (cheese) and Tagalog 'puti' (white).
Often eaten for breakfast with pandesal or used as an ingredient in various Filipino dishes. It is a specialty of provinces like Laguna, Bulacan, and Cavite.
