Cheese: Food of choice of people with discriminating taste

In the olden days it is common to describe something of high quality as "cheese". A woman, or anyone for that matter, can hold up her most prized possession and say "this is cheese" to mean that it is first rate.

Yes, the word "cheese" is synonymous to quality and is considered the food of choice of people with discriminating taste. Because of its popularity, people have developed numerous varieties and tastes of cheese. Hence, cheese can be bland, buttery, creamy, salty or lightly delicate.

With Marca Piña Queso de Bola, adherents say it is truly a Dutch Edam cheese because it is made from natural cheese. For Marca Piña has the subtlety of taste perfected through the years — slightly salty and tangy, smooth and filling. A premium Edam cheese, it is made the old fashioned way under the most modern technology and production facilities. The word "Edam" means it is made from Holland, a country where cheesemaking has been transformed into a passion and an art. Marca Piña Queso de Bola is a product of Frico Cheese, the largest company in the Netherlands established since 1898. Frico’s products are exported to more than 80 countries, making Frico Cheese one of the top dairy companies in the world.

As household name in the Philippines, Marca Piña has been sharing its cheesy goodness with Filipinos for the past 70 years and having more than 80 percent of the market share in its category, it has always maintained the market leadership in the country.

Hence, in the Philippines, if somebody wants Queso de bola, it’s as good as saying "Marca Piña".
