About Queso fresco
Queso fresco, meaning "fresh cheese" in Spanish, is a soft, creamy, and mild cheese originating from Latin America. Typically made from cow's milk or a blend of cow and goat's milk, its preparation involves minimal aging, resulting in a crumbly texture and a slightly tangy flavor. Queso fresco is a staple in Mexican and Central American cuisines, often used to top dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and salads. Nutritionally, it’s a good source of calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle repair. However, it can be high in sodium, which should be considered by individuals monitoring their salt intake. Compared to aged cheeses, queso fresco is lower in fat, making it a lighter option for meals. It's best consumed fresh, as its delicate texture and mild taste provide versatility in enhancing your favorite dishes without overpowering them.
