About Queso de puerco
Queso de Puerco, also known as head cheese, is a traditional Latin American cold cut made primarily from pork head meat, gelatin, and a blend of spices. The mixture is cooked until tender, then molded into a loaf and chilled, creating a firm, sliceable texture. Often enjoyed in Mexican cuisine, it’s served as an appetizer or sandwich ingredient. This delicacy is protein-rich due to its pork content, offering essential amino acids needed for muscle repair and maintenance. However, it can be high in fat and sodium, depending on preparation methods and added seasonings. Vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc from the pork can support immune function and energy production. For a balanced diet, Queso de Puerco is best enjoyed in moderation alongside fresh vegetables or whole grains to offset its high fat and sodium levels.
