Ingredients
250 g block mozzarella cheese
200 g block guava paste
200 g block guava paste
Where to find ingredients
Widely available in the dairy section of most supermarkets. Look for block mozzarella, which is firmer and easier to cube than pre-shredded or fresh mozzarella.
Often found in Latin American or international food sections of large supermarkets. Specialty Latin or Brazilian markets are your best bet. If unavailable, a firm, cooked guava jam or even a thick quince paste (membrillo) can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will differ slightly.
