FrieslandCampina is expanding its Gayo Azul brand with its delicious new Gayo Azul Cotija cheese.
Gayo Azul is actually a Caribbean brand with a strong Dutch influence. The brand started as a small company in the Caribbean, before entering the U.S. market in the 1960s and becoming a fixture ever since. Now the brand's latest product is the Gayo Azul Cotija cheese, which boasts a sharp, slightly salty flavor and a perfectly crumbly texture. The Gayo Azul Cotija cheese is made from fresh cow’s milk cheese and Mexican-style aged. As Debbie Seife, Marketing Director of FrieslandCampina, explains, this Hispanic cheesemaking process results in "a deliciously salty, milky flavor that is sure to turn it into a staple in our fans’ recipes."
