All the Queso De Bola Recipes You Need This Christmas
Use queso de bola's unique, deep, cheesy flavor for appetizers, main courses, or desserts!

Christmas brings another opportunity for us to thoroughly enjoy queso de bola. It's a special, intrinsic part of every Noche Buena. We think it's because it's like a perfectly wrapped gift with its brilliant red wax sealing the hard, aged, umami-packed, deep yellow-hued cheese when opened.Â
However, if you end up with any leftover cheese, you've got two options to use any that don't make it into your holiday stomach: store it or turn it into something amazing!
How to store it? Smother the exposed cheese sides with butter or oil and press against parchment paper. Seal in a plastic bag, or better yet, use foil to wrap it up. This will keep your cheese mold-free as long as possible.
Here's how to use it in recipes: There's more to queso de bola than just munching on it with bread and crostini. There are so many ways to use it in recipes! Serve your queso de bola a little differently this Christmas with these easy cheesy recipes: Â
