Re: Is cotija cheese legal?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Legal cheeses must be aged at least thirty days and have a lactose

content of less than 1%. The ingredients should have nothing more

than milk, cream, rennet, microbial enzymes, salt and bacterial

culture. It can have either rennet and or microbial enzymes - these

both do the same thing. The cheese can have as little as milk,

rennet (or microbial enzyme), salt and bacterial culture, and a

lactose content of less than 1% to make it legal.

Hope this helps. If you are still unsure how the cotija cheese fits

into this let me know.
