Queso Blanco, translating to "white cheese" in Spanish, is a soft, creamy, and mild cheese commonly associated with Latin American cuisine. It’s made from fresh cow’s milk, often combined with vinegar or lemon juice to create its signature texture and flavor. Unlike aged cheeses, Queso Blanco is non-melting and enjoyed in various dishes such as salads, soups, or as a topping for savory meals. Nutritionally, it’s a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle growth. However, like many cheeses, it can be high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Its simplicity in ingredients makes it a favorite for those seeking a natural approach to cheese, with many variations available depending on local traditions and preparation methods.
