It is named after the state of Oaxaca , where it was first made. The production process is complicated and involves stretching the cheese into long ribbons and rolling it up like a ball of Yarn . It's also known as quesillo, '''thread cheese''' when shaped like a ball, and '''asadero cheese''' when shaped like a brick.
