What is frying cheese?
Queso Blanco (white cheese, typically from cows) or queso fresco (fresh cheese, typically from the cow–and sometimes with goat’s milk) are natural, creamy, soft, unaged cheeses that don’t melt into the long, lugubrious, stringy masses you’re likely used to when you make a grilled cheese sandwich from a more aged cheddar or mozzarella.
Melting ever so slightly, grilling cheese largely retains its shape when frying, for so many possibilities. But more on that in a second.
Commercial Production
Mozzarella cheese is often used by fried cheese food manufacturers, because it has a desirable gooeyness when melted and because it has a neutral flavor that is “widely accepted”.
