Queso Crema, or cream cheese, is a smooth, versatile cheese often featured in Latin American cuisine, as well as globally. Known for its creamy texture and mild flavor, it typically consists of milk, cream, bacterial cultures, and stabilizers like guar gum. Queso Crema is widely used as a spread, dip base, or ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes, including empanadas, cheesecakes, and stuffed peppers. Rich in calcium and protein, it can contribute to bone health and muscle repair. However, it is also high in fat, especially saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation for heart health. Opting for lower-fat versions can reduce calorie intake while preserving its creamy goodness. While not a significant contributor to vitamins or fiber, Queso Crema offers delicious versatility, making it a favorite in kitchens worldwide.
