About Puerto Rican white cheese

Puerto Rican white cheese is a broad cheese category associated by name with Puerto Rico and described as white in colour. The record does not specify milk source, production method, aging, saltiness, or texture, and it cannot be assigned to a particular named cheese from this information alone. Products under this broad label may vary.

It may be encountered as a fresh or otherwise processed cheese for eating or use in food preparation, but no particular format is given. Its appearance is expected to be white or pale, while firmness, moisture, flavour, and melting behaviour depend on the product. The label does not establish a specific recipe, milk source, or use.
