About Queso azul
Queso Azul, or blue cheese, is a distinctive cheese recognized for its rich, tangy flavor and characteristic blue veins created by edible mold cultures, typically Penicillium roqueforti. Originating from European cuisines, varieties such as Roquefort from France and Gorgonzola from Italy are well-known examples. Made from cow, goat, or sheep milk, it is aged to develop its crumbly texture and sharp taste. Nutritionally, Queso Azul is a source of protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12 and K2, beneficial for bone and immune health. However, it is also high in saturated fats, sodium, and calories, factors that make moderation important for those with heart or blood pressure concerns. Its bold flavor makes it a popular addition to salads, dressings, and sauces, offering an indulgent yet potent boost of taste and nutrition when used thoughtfully.
