This flavorful, easy melting cheese is appealing to many.  Unlike most Mexican cheeses, it is pale yellow rather than white, and can vary in taste from mild to a nearly cheddar-like sharpness.  Also called queso menonita, after the Mennonite communities of northern Mexico that first produced it, this cheese is now made by both Mennonites and non-Mennonites all over the country.  Great for quesadillas or covered in breadcrumbs and fried.
