Hello Barb -
I see you found your way in. Great people here and don't be afraid to ask questions we are all very helpful cheese addicts.
Now I know what you are looking for! This is actually a pasta filleta cheese and not really easy for a first cheese for most people but give it a try. It called Queso Oaxaca Cheese. It is similar to mozzarella which many people here seem to have trouble with.
