About Quesco fresco
Queso fresco, translating to "fresh cheese" in Spanish, is a soft, mild, and slightly tangy cheese that originates from Latin America. Made traditionally from cow’s milk or a combination of cow and goat’s milk, it is creamy yet crumbly, making it a versatile ingredient in Mexican and Central American cuisine. Popular in dishes like enchiladas, salads, and tacos, queso fresco doesn’t melt, maintaining its firm texture when heated. Nutritionally, it’s low in fat compared to aged cheeses and provides a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health. However, it can be high in sodium, so moderation is key for individuals watching their salt intake. Often crafted without preservatives, queso fresco is typically enjoyed fresh, delivering an authentic and wholesome flavor to a variety of meals.
