Queso de Freír, also known as frying cheese, is a staple in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, particularly in countries like the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Made primarily from cow’s milk, this cheese has a firm texture and high melting point, allowing it to maintain its shape when cooked. Typically seasoned with salt, it's often pan-fried to a golden crust while remaining soft inside, making it a popular choice for breakfast or snacks. While rich in calcium and protein, Queso de Freír is also high in sodium and saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. Its minimal carbohydrate content makes it suitable for low-carb diets, but its high caloric density means portion control is important. This cheese is enjoyed for its savory flavor, versatility, and satisfying texture, often paired with plantains or served as a side dish in traditional meals.
