[Cheese] Mexican style soft white cheese

[Albert Ortiz]

By the way, a good queso fresco cheese will be easy to spot.  Cut it in
chunks, about 1" or 1/2" cubes, heat up some oil and deep fry it for a few
seconds.  If it doesnt melt you have the genuine stuff.  if it melts a bit,
then it was tried to, but not quite achieved.  If fryed in olive oil, it
tastes awesome.  great snak for your get togethers.
