Queso Fresco, available at Aldi, is a fresh, white cheese originating from Latin American cuisine. Made primarily from pasteurized whole milk, enzymes, and salt, it has a creamy yet crumbly texture that complements a variety of dishes, from tacos and enchiladas to salads and soups. As a low-carb option, Queso Fresco is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function. However, it is relatively high in sodium, so portion control is key for those watching their salt intake. Unlike aged cheeses, Queso Fresco lacks high-fat content, making it a lighter choice for meals. This versatile cheese is a wholesome ingredient to enhance your recipes with a mild, fresh flavor.
