    KENT, Ill., March 10, 2022

    –Hispanic Cheese Makers-Nuestro Queso earned a Best in Class Gold Medal in the prestigious 2022 World Championship Cheese Contest for its Mexican style Panela cheese. Hispanic Cheese Makers-Nuestro Queso’s Panela cheese scored an impressive 99.8 in the Latin American Fresh Cheese category ranking it Best in Class.

    Queso Panela (Panela Cheese in Spanish) has an elegant texture and exquisite taste, it is also known as “Queso de Canasta” or “Basket Cheese” because it is formed in a basket mold. Queso Panela is a fresh Mexican style cheese lower in sodium than other Mexican style cheeses making it a healthy alternative. It goes well with many foods because it absorbs other flavors easily. It can be easily cut but not crumbled, and it doesn’t melt when heated, it only becomes softer. Queso Panela is very versatile, it can be enjoyed as an ingredient in salads, as part of an appetizer such as nopal (cactus), grilled or as dessert combining it with guava paste.

    Mark Braun, CEO, Hispanic Cheese Makers-Nuestro Queso, LLC, says, “There is no greater compliment to our team than being recognized like this on an international stage. The passion of our team is truly inspiring.”

    Hispanic Cheese Makers-Nuestro Queso produces not only the gold medal winner Mexican style Panela cheese but also the popular Fresco, Oaxaca, Cotija, Quesadilla Mexican style cheeses, and the Blanco and Para Freir Caribbean style cheeses at its state of the art SQF Level 3 certified plant.
