La Cocina Caciotta, original artwork by Mike Geno

An artisanal take of monterey jack by Dallas, TX cheese makers of the Mozzarella company "Mozzco". They sent me this along with their beautiful Hoja Santa, which I requested for my Cheesemap project. I especially love the unique translucent wax rind which glows and skews light. It was tough to paint the complex chile laden cheese in it's shadowed side but the rind was irresistible to me. It's also realllllllllly delicious too!
