About Chihuahua cheese

Chihuahua cheese, hailing from the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, is a creamy, semi-soft cheese made from cow's milk. Known for its pale yellow color and smooth texture, it has a mild, buttery flavor that becomes tangy when aged. Popular in Mexican cuisine, it melts easily, making it ideal for dishes like quesadillas, enchiladas, and queso fundido. Nutritionally, Chihuahua cheese is a good source of calcium, protein, and essential vitamins such as B12, which support bone health and muscle repair. However, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, factors to consider when consuming in large quantities. Enjoyed in moderation, this versatile cheese adds both taste and texture to meals while providing important nutrients for a balanced diet.
