About Mexican cheese
Mexican cheese refers to a variety of cheeses native to Mexican cuisine, offering diverse flavors and textures suited for traditional dishes. Common types include queso fresco, Oaxaca, cotija, panela, and queso Chihuahua, each crafted from milk—typically cow's or a blend of cow's and goat's. These cheeses range from fresh and crumbly to aged and firm. They are rich in calcium, protein, and vitamin B12, making them beneficial for bone health and energy. However, their fat and sodium content varies, with aged varieties like cotija being higher in sodium, while fresh cheeses like queso fresco are lower in fat. Mexican cheese enhances dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, and soups, adding nutrition and flavor but should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Its versatility and authentic taste make it a staple of Mexican culinary heritage.
