Mennonite Farmer Cheese

Photo coming soon
Much of this cheese comes from Spanish Lookout, a Mennonite farming community in Cayo that also supplies most of Belize's chicken, eggs, and dairy.
A firm, mild white cheese made using traditional Mennonite methods on small family dairies. It's sold from coolers and farm stands along Cayo's highways, often alongside fresh milk and baked goods.
Why it's made this way: Cayo is home to Belize's largest Mennonite farming settlements, whose dairy traditions have made this cheese a distinctive roadside product found almost nowhere else in the country.
