Cheese ball for parties is a classic and very popular appetizer in various regions of Latin America, especially during family gatherings and celebrations. Its origin dates back to American influence, where the "cheese ball" has been adapted and reinvented with local ingredients, thus achieving unique versions in each country.
In Mexico and several Central American countries, this preparation is commonly known as "bola de queso", while in some regions of South America it goes by similar names, always highlighting its characteristic spherical shape and its creamy and festive flavor. The traditional recipe has been a frequent accompaniment at Christmas parties, birthdays, and other social events where a simple but delicious snack is desired.
This delicious ball combines the smoothness of cream cheese with the sweet and fresh touch of pineapple, the crunchy texture of pecans, and the aromatic flavor of green bell pepper and green onions. Furthermore, the seasoned salt adds a special flavor that enhances every bite.
