I went out to hunt a 'queso de bola' or Edam cheese in town today. In preparation for New Year's Eve, we usually have it to match with 'hamonado' or marinated and cooked meat in a sweet pineapple sauce. I tried my best to find one and went from one grocery to another, but It was a failed mission.
Do you have this kind of cheese?
Are you fond of eating cheese on special occasions?

We had one last Christmas Eve since my wife got it from her employer as Christmas gift. It still is 1/4 consumed since it is only my son that loves to much on it last Christmas Eve. So we will have again this New year's eve as leftover from last Christmas Eve.

@Shavkat Well l guess it is the situation we are in it’s just kind of hard to move around any merchandise from one place to another. When we visited a mall nearby they were selling their goods at a discount to get rid of their stocks and they claimed that since the quarantine there has been no restocking of their merchandise as deliveries were very rare or no more deliveries coming in anymore.

Sorry you could not find one. Are they out of stock due to increased demand? What about online??
We don't have any cheese use in our traditional cooking except for cottage cheese called paneer. We make a lot of delicacies with it.

@arunima25 I don't know the reason. I cannot really find the answer. It is my first time that they are not available.

@Shavkat Oh! I see. Must be the high demand during this time that lead them being out of stock.

This is a favorite of mine. I like how the taste of the cheese contrasts with the sweetness of the ham.
