If you plan to make a lot of this, why not make an excursion to Laguna, which makes fantastic kesong puti? You'll get more for your money quantity wise, and the cheese will be fresher than anything you can find in the supermarkets. Tip: In Lumban, Laguna buy your kesong puti in the morning from the market. In Sta. Cruz, Laguna look for roadside stalls advertising the stuff. Avoid buying from individuals peddling the kesong puti on foot; the cheese may already be old and shrunken.
