Cotija cheese is a hard, crumbly Mexican cheese made from cow's milk. It's known for its salty, sharp, and milky flavor that intensifies with age. Its texture ranges from firm and slightly moist when fresh to dry and almost Parmesan-like when aged. Aged Cotija cheese is often used grated as a topping.

Cotija cheese is a semi-hard cheese and should be stored properly to prevent spoilage. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out and absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. Store in the refrigerator, ideally in the cheese drawer, and it will typically last for 2-3 weeks. For longer storage, cotija can be frozen, though the texture may become slightly more crumbly after thawing. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil or place in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. Use within 2-3 months for best quality.
