About Queso hondureno

Queso Hondureño is a traditional cheese originating from Honduras, commonly enjoyed in various Central American cuisines. Its texture varies from firm to crumbly, depending on its age, and it offers a salty, mildly tangy flavor. Typically made from cow's milk, this cheese is crafted through a simple process that involves pasteurization, curdling, and pressing. Queso Hondureño is rich in calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle repair. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderate consumption is advised, especially for individuals monitoring their heart health or salt intake. This versatile cheese is often used in cooking, whether as a filling for tortillas, a topping for beans and rice, or simply enjoyed fresh. Its authentic taste brings a distinct Honduran flair to any dish, connecting food lovers to the country’s culinary traditions.
