About Queso de mano

Queso De Mano, meaning "handmade cheese" in Spanish, is a traditional Venezuelan cheese known for its elasticity and mildly salty flavor. Prepared from cow’s milk, it resembles a soft mozzarella, with a slightly firmer texture. This artisanal cheese is commonly used in dishes like arepas and cachapas, where its ability to melt and stretch enhances the culinary experience. Queso De Mano is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle repair and bone health, but also contains saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. Its relatively low carbohydrate content makes it appealing for low-carb diets, yet its sodium content may be a concern for those watching their salt intake. With origins rooted deeply in Venezuelan cuisine, Queso De Mano is celebrated for its versatility and embodies the comforting essence of Latin American flavors while providing both nutrients and indulgence.
