Queso de mano

Queso de mano ("handmade cheese") is a type of soft, white cheese (queso fresco) most commonly associated with Venezuelan cuisine. It is most often used as a filling for arepas and cachapa. The taste and consistency of the cheese most closely resembles that of fresh mozzarella (which is also a fresh, white, wet cheese), but is built up in layers. (Note that this is not similar to American/Canadian mozzarella, which is a low-moisture, firm, dry, rubbery and salty cheese, usually sold in blocks.)
