I love this kind of cheese with beans, baked ripe plantain and even cut in sticks, wrapped in pizza dough and deep-fried... South America's version of the Mozza sticks. But... where to get it?
I used to buy it at Mendels cheese store in Kensington. I remember being told that they receive it on Monday and it's usually sold out by Thursday. I've been disappointed a couple times by asking for it on a weekend, but it's been a while so I don't know when they are currently getting it in.
You can get Queso Fresco in many west-end grocery stores, including the No Frills in the Dufferin Mall, and more reliably at the No Frills on Lansdowne at Dundas.
There's a few Latin American shops in Kensingnton Market that carry it. I picked some up once, but didn't really know what to do with it. Maybe I'll give it another chance, and actually read up about it this time. Enjoy!
