About Queso fresco el mexicano
Queso Fresco El Mexicano is a fresh, mild cheese originating from Mexican cuisine, celebrated for its soft texture and slightly tangy flavor. Made primarily from pasteurized cow's milk, rennet, and salt, it is crafted without aging, giving it a crumbly and versatile consistency. Ideal for enhancing dishes such as enchiladas, tacos, and salads, Queso Fresco provides a source of protein and calcium, essential for bone health and muscle function. However, it is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, which should be considered in balanced diets. Its minimal processing and natural ingredients make it an approachable choice for those seeking traditional Latin flavors. While it can complement nutrient-rich meals, moderation is key for those monitoring sodium or calorie intake. Enjoy this authentic cheese as part of a wholesome and varied diet.
