Queso Costeño Nativo is a traditional Colombian cheese from the Caribbean coast – fresh, firm, and pleasantly salty, with a slightly milky-buttery profile and a crumbly texture. Its natural saltiness makes it a perfect flavoring for dishes straight from the package: crumble it over arepas, sprinkle it on patacones, add it to salads, or scrambled eggs. It's a key ingredient in classic Colombian dishes like mote de queso (with greens and ñame), and it also works wonderfully in the filling of empanadas, casseroles, pasta, and as a counterpoint to sweet guava jam (bocadillo). It softens when heated, retaining its shape, making it suitable for grilling and baking; when cold, it's perfect for cheeseboards with tropical fruits and nuts. It's best served chilled. Once opened, store it in the refrigerator, tightly covered, and use within a few days. Queso Costeño Nativo is a quick way to add an authentic Caribbean touch to everyday cooking – salty, bold and incredibly versatile.
