Queso de Freír Amarillo

Yellow Frying Cheese

Cheeses Fresh Cheeses The Flavor of the Caribbean

Tropical Queso de Freír Amarillo is a Dominican favorite: a firm, fresh cheese made to be fried, pan-seared, grilled, or baked. Thanks to its high melting point, it turns beautifully golden and crispy on the outside while staying sturdy and delicious inside. It’s very similar to our regular Tropical Queso de Freír, but its yellow color comes from annatto, giving it a warm, appetizing look when cooked.

How to eat Queso de Freír Amarillo

You can use Tropical Queso de Freír Amarillo in the same way you use Queso de Freír; a staple in classic Dominican breakfasts, paired with mangú, fried salami, and eggs. It’s also great for snacks and appetizers. It’s often served next to green or ripe plantains, potatoes, yuca, malanga, salami, and fried eggs. Since it doesn’t melt, it’s very easy to cook, grill, or fry, and it adds an authentic Caribbean flavor.
