Once in awhile, cheese graces the Filipino table. Although not a favorite, the cheese has been part of the Filipino palate particularly during celebrations. The spaghetti that replaced the still famous pancit is always topped with the cheese that can be bought from your favorite supermarket or even retail stores. But aside from the localized version of the cheddar cheese, another locally produced cheese has also took its share on the limelight. The kesong puti or white cheese that originated from Sta. Cruz Laguna is becoming popular to food lovers.
