This is the cheese I started make when I first learned to make cheese. To my queso fresco I dont added to much weight at most is 10 pounds and I also mill it very fine with my fingers before molding it. This to me gives the best texture. To my liking. And the panela is pretty straight forward is just a basket cheese in Mexico they don't even add any starter culture but I like to add some meso. I am also working on sheep's milk panela that I want to dry salt and age it. But my aunts sheep are dry for the winter so I guess I have to wait. Anyway here are a few pics.

Very nice looking cheese!!  What was the taste like?  Would love to have access to sheep milk.

This is actually cows milk. But its very creamy and it has a hint of sweetness. Its a very good fresh cheese both are!!

Do you have the recipe for your Panela. I have tried to make it but came out too milky tasting.
Thanks
