About Nicaraguan cheese
Nicaraguan cheese, or "queso Nicaragüense," is a staple in Nicaraguan cuisine, known for its rich, creamy texture and distinctive salty flavor. Made primarily from cow's milk, it often includes natural sea salt and specific cultures for fermentation, giving it a slightly tangy profile. Fresh varieties like queso fresco are soft and crumbly, while aged types such as queso seco have a firmer texture and more concentrated flavor. This cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, essential for bone health and muscle function. It also contains beneficial probiotics, supporting gut health when unpasteurized. However, its high sodium and fat content should be consumed in moderation, particularly for those managing heart health or weight. Commonly enjoyed with gallo pinto, tortillas, or fried plantains, Nicaraguan cheese adds a signature flavor to the country's beloved dishes.
