My local Cuban restaurant serves tostones rellenos -- tostones topped with chicken, onions, peppers, and a metric ton of gooey, creamy, wonderful cheese. It's just an appetizer, but it could feed a family of four. It's easily the best dish they prepare.

When I asked what kind of cheese they used, the waitress consulted the chef and said it's jolanda or jolanta. I've done a lot of searching online and queried my gastronome friends, but I've had no luck. Does anyone know what this cheese might be? It was fairly unique in taste & texture, but if pressed I'd describe it as a smoky jack flavor with smooth fresh-mozzarella consistency.
