Just bought kesong puti, made from carabao’s milk, from my cousin’s roadside store. I have always eaten it as it is and not fried. I might just try it your way, MM. And I usually eat it with ripe banana,

We love pan de sal in the toaster oven, slightly toasted then kesong puti put on the bread and back into the toaster until nice and hot. Mango jam, Santos jam, raspberry jam spread on the hot cheese. Yummy!!!!

Footloose et al, I suppose the culprit is the high cost of local milk…

Wiki says, 1 pound of cheese requires 10 pounds (or about 5 quarts) of cow or goat milk and about 6 pounds of sheep milk. Local cheese, usually cheddar, is reasonably priced here (in Canada). Mozzarella, Ricotta and Mascarpone however, are three or four times more expensive. Almost identical price difference between fresh pasta and fresh wonton noodles made from the selfsame Canadian wheat flour. I eat a healthy dose of mascarpone with my low carb diet so I just make my own mascarpone from whipping cream on sale and probiotic yogurt.

Betchay, that is so cool. Carabao’s milk kesong puti is something we don’t have in Davao, so I am always on the look out for good ones whenever I’m in Manila. But yes, the prices have been increasingly shocking.

I love quesong puti! I prefer the ones made with vinegar(soft) and not with rennet(firm) …. and also not fried. The flat square ones I brought to your beach house before sells for P25 each….still the same price now but a little thinner :( I agree with ConnieC that the lost of agricultural lands is directly proportional to the decreasing number of carabaos thus the high price of producing this yummy delicacy.
