In a fusion of pre-Hispanic and European traditions, Mexican cuisine boasts unique ingredients like cacao and vanilla, crowned with the finest cheeses such as the Oaxaca cheese, heralded by Taste Atlas.
Mexican cuisine, recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since 2010, is celebrated for its blend of pre-Hispanic and European traditions. Ingredients such as maize, beans, chilies, tomatoes, cacao, and vanilla form the base of many iconic Mexican dishes.
Among its rich array of artisanal cheeses are Cotija, Chihuahua, Bola from Yucatán, and panela cheeses. These cheeses display the cultural and culinary richness of the country.
Recently, Taste Atlas has named the cheese from Oaxaca, also known as 'quesillo' or 'queso Oaxaca', as the best in Mexico. Originating from the state of Oaxaca, this cheese is essential in Mexican cooking. The Taste Atlas praising this cheese says it shares a similar manufacturing method to mozzarella, utilizing the pasta filata process, which imparts its signature stringy texture.
This cheese was highlighted as one of the top semi-soft cheeses globally in 2024, securing sixth place. Known for its fibrous texture, soft and slightly salty taste, it is also prized for its excellent melting quality, ideal for a variety of dishes, from street snacks to elaborate meals such as tlayudas.
