Cheese culture in Cali is pretty limited because of it's hot and humid climate. You can find cheese in supermarkets here, but it's usually over processed and has a gummy texture. So, finding handmade Queso Costeño at La Galería is pretty exciting. 🚩
Queso Costeño is a soft and salty, fresh cheese originally from Colombia's Caribbean coast.
This vendor makes a few different varieties, some firmer and saltier, others softer and silkier. He also had some fresh butter, which is surprisingly hard to come by in Cali.
