Traditional Mexican/Oaxacan cheeses made right in Albany by this family operation. They're award-winning, nabbing 1st prize at the American Cheese Society's 2017 for their Queso Oaxaca in the "Hispanic & Portuguese Style Cheeses - melting" category. They've got 2nd & 3rd in other categories in 2017, too.
They've got many delicious traditional cheeses, from mild to wild, fresh to aged. Sometimes you might find some samples, too! It's a cute little store with parking in front, decorated in lively Mexican colors and doodads. They have a little bit of other merchandise like salsa and chips, but really it's all about the queso. Google them for some newspaper articles and a great video of them stretching their string-cheese-like Oaxacan.
Even if your biggest culinary ambition is a quesadilla, stop here for the cheese and elevate that 'dilla to the highest culinary caliber! read more
