Queso Oaxaca is a stretched-curd (pasta filata) cheese from southern Mexico, pulled into a long rope and rolled into a ball. You tear it into threads. It melts elastic and stays put — no puddle of water, which is what mozzarella does inside a quesadilla. Corazón de Leche makes it in Madrid from pasteurised Spanish cow's milk with the Oaxacan technique: 500 g ball, keeps 45 days chilled unopened, 5-7 days once open.
