In the town of Villa Rosario, commonly known as one of the nicest parts of Capira, Mrs. Felicidad Carrasco runs a small home-based cheese manufacturing business. Not only does she sell to most local mini-supermarkets, but she also runs a small retail operation from within her home. If you stayed a full day on the steps of her front entrance, you’d notice that nearly every car that passes by stops to get some of her fine, white cheese.

Made with only the best non-artificial ingredients, her “Queso Blanco” - as the locals call it - has a wonderful Ricotta-like flavor with its own unique texture. Fresh cow’s milk can only mean that the sooner you eat it the easier it is to fully experience the taste. With fresh milk delivered daily the quality of her cheese is unsurpassed.

Her sales are not determined by how many customers want her product because that is practically unlimited. Instead, her production is dictated by the local supply of milk. The only milk used in the production of her cheese is purchased locally from the people that raise cows near her home. Her company is strongly against buying from commercial milk manufacturers that use unknown and potentially unhealthy additives. She strives for only the best and most natural products for use in the manufacturing of her cheese. The marketing costs involved in her business are minimal, and there are no concerns about losing her market share to well known brand-name manufacturers. She is eagerly expanding by teaching other serious individuals to replicate her minimal investment, home-based business tactics in other regions.

The pride she takes in her business is a sight to admire. In addition to providing the locals with top notch cheese, her work also helps her fellow neighbors find jobs.

At only $1.25 for a standard wedge of cheese, her competitive prices will win your heart, along with the distinctive flavor and love packed into every block.
