It is the most consumed cheese in Argentina[2] and represents almost 40% of domestic production of cheese. From its origin as a companion of quince or dulce de batata, its uses have evolved and now is used for making pizzas as a substitute for mozzarella.

It is a soft white cheese, with 45–55% water. It has no rind, and is presented in vacuum-sealed parallelepiped packages.
