It is named after the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, where it was first made. It can be made into several different shapes, which can make it easier to eat. It is also known as quesillo or thread cheese when shaped like a ball. Asadero (meaning "roaster" or "broiler", also called queso quesadilla), a similar cheese, is shaped in bricks and sliced. | ||
The production process is complicated and involves stretching the cheese into long ribbons and rolling it up like a ball of yarn. [[Mozzarella]] is another cheese which is processed by stretching (pasta filata process). "El Mexicano" brand Queso Oaxaca from San Jose, California, describes itself as "Mexican Style Mozzarella." There is a spicy version flavoured with cherry pits. | The production process is complicated and involves stretching the cheese into long ribbons and rolling it up like a ball of yarn.
