Las Montanas Market chongos, crema and cheese
One of the cremas is called jocoque which this site writes
www.babylon.com/definition/Jocoque/English
“A Mexican style sour cream. It has equal or less fat content than the American sour cream. Some labels describe it as salted buttermilk, but its thicker; some call it a thin sour cream. The taste of jocoque ranges from mildly tangy to refreshingly sharp”
It looked wonderful and rich. Here’s a recipe using it.

There was also chongos zamoranos, which this site describes as
mexicobob.blogspot.com/2008/06...
“a sort of sweet cottage cheese. It is made from milk and cinnamon and sugar and it is very well known in Mexico. It was supposedly invented by a nun in a convent who needed to salvage some milk that had gone sour and had begun to separate into curds and whey.”
When I worked in Mexico in the 90’s, I bought a can of chongos zamoranos which sat on my shelf for a decade and I never opened it because I wasn’t exactly sure what it was. I had some recently at a Mexican chain in Guatemala and liked it a lot. I’ll have to try these.
