Origin
and quality
Traditionally known in Colombian cuisine, double cream cheese is a fresh string cheese made from whole cow’s milk, rennet, and salt. During the production process, once the curd is obtained, it undergoes a cooking stage, which results in a cheese with elasticity and a firm texture that is ready for consumption after production. Double cream cheese has a high nutritional value, providing proteins, vitamins, and minerals that are necessary for the proper development of muscles and tissues in the human body.
