Queseo is one of the most popular types of cheese in the Philippines. It is called "kesong puti" in the Philippines but in the Visayas region, it is called "queseo" which translates to white cheese. This soft and unaged cheese uses unskimmed carabao milk, salt, and vinegar or citrus juice. Queseo recipes are a family tradition, with variations passed down through generations across different regions in the Philippines like Compostela, Cebu. However, this rich history in Compostela, Cebu lacked a standardized recipe for queseo. This study aimed to bridge this knowledge gap by documenting the traditional methods used by Compostela's queseo homemakers. The researchers sought to develop a standardized recipe using an observational checklist that preserves the essence of queseo while ensuring consistent quality.
