The good news is you can get a string cheese made by the same process in good Middle Eastern shops. It is not clear if the Arabs took the method to Oaxaca, or discovered it in Oaxaca and took it back to the Middle East, but you'll see they are quite similar. It is often flavoured with caraway seeds and can be quite salty so you do need to soak it in water before shredding and using in quesadillas. Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

Does anyone know where to get the cheese in London or how to make it at home?
