Very fresh cheese with a clean, mild flavor. Great texture and perfect for slicing or adding to meals without overpowering other ingredients. It holds its shape well and tastes authentic. I would definitely buy it again.

Fresh and authentic taste

Loved this cheese the texture was good the taste was beyond excellent. Would have liked to get the advertised price ended up paying over $1 more but

A very good cheese

Somos comedores de queso de todo tipo pero especial para hacer unas enmoladas para tacos queso con huevo a la mexicana riquísimos muy buen producto como los de otras tiendas tiene que mantenerlo cerca de la salida del congelador al refrigerador así le dura más

El quesero

Customers, good to eat plain or with a piece of bread. Not for salads or cooking. Does not melt or stretch at all. Usually short supply at my local club for some reason.
Sam’s managers, keep this in stock. We are tired of the constant supply inconsistency.

Best non-aged breakfast table cheese–when in stock

This is a good panela cheese, similar to the ones you get in Mexico.

Good Product

El Viajero Panela Basket Cheese was a disappointment. The texture was rubbery and squeaky, and the flavor was almost nonexistent. It didn’t melt, didn’t improve when cooked, and added nothing to the dish except bulk. Watery in spots and dry in others, it was frustrating to use. I won’t be buying it again.

Ick ick ick

This cheese is too salty. We love panela and consider it healthier than other cheeses, but this one we could barely eat given the amount of salt it has. We tried cooking it and it helped, but we didn’t enjoy it as is. It is a shame because panela goes well with everything, but we don’t want to consume all our salt in one cheese serving. The cheese also goes bad very fast; you must consume it within a week after opening or it turns bitter.

Saltiest Panela Cheese: So Sad

It always goes bad really fast. I really don’t like the taste.

Unsatisfied

Bad quality

I bought yesterday and it’s don’t taste or look good , I have pictures and video from yesterday
