Queso de Oaxaca, also known as Oaxaca cheese, is a traditional Mexican cheese with a soft, stretchy texture similar to mozzarella. Made from cow’s milk, it is crafted using a process called string cheese or "pasta filata," which gives it its characteristic smooth strands. Originating from the Oaxaca region of Mexico, this cheese is a staple in Mexican cuisine and is especially popular in dishes like quesadillas, enchiladas, and as a topping for soups and tacos. Nutritionally, Queso de Oaxaca is a good source of protein and calcium, beneficial for muscle and bone health. However, it is also relatively high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be considered for those managing cholesterol levels or salt intake. Its mild flavor and excellent melting properties make it a versatile ingredient, though portion control is key to enjoying it within a balanced diet.
