About Queso fresco cheese
Queso Fresco, meaning "fresh cheese" in Spanish, is a soft, white cheese that originates from Latin American cuisine. Made primarily from cow’s milk or a blend of cow and goat’s milk, it has a mild, tangy flavor and crumbly texture, often used in dishes like tacos, enchiladas, or salads. Nutritionally, Queso Fresco is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function. However, it is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key, especially for those managing heart health or blood pressure. Unlike aged cheeses, it has a lower calorie density, making it a lighter option to incorporate into meals. Due to its fresh nature, Queso Fresco is versatile and adds a creamy finish to savory dishes without overwhelming other flavors.
