In my 28 years, my tongue is used to savour commercialize Kraft Eden Cheese of Kraft Cheez Whiz (pasteurised one) which is really the number one or the only one cheese in the Philippines. Am I forgetting something? Of course, there is also the soft white cheese or known as Kesong Puti which is originally made from Laguna Province made of fresh Carabao’s milk.
AREA OF ORIGIN: Sta Cruz, Laguna, San Miguel, Bulacan, Cebu and Samar Provinces
AREA OF PRODUCTION: Laguna, Bulacan Cebu and Samar provinces
ORIGIN AND HISTORY: This cheese derived from the Carabao’s milk (or cow’s milk)
Industrialized methods multiply from Sta Cruz, Laguna, San Miguel and Bulacan, Cebu and Samar provinces, where Carabao milk is also formed.
Now I am reminiscing my younger years when a vendor sells Kesong Puti my Mom used to tell us to have a taste of it but I am not really a fan of cheese neither a milk drinker! Now, I am far away from home I would like to taste this local cheese and not only French cheese!
