About Queso mar del plata

Queso Mar Del Plata is a semi-hard cheese originating from Argentina, named after the coastal city of Mar del Plata. Made primarily from cow’s milk, this cheese undergoes a specific aging process that delivers a creamy texture with mild, nutty flavors. It is often used in local Argentinian cuisine for snacking, melting in baked dishes, or pairing with fruits. Nutritionally, Queso Mar Del Plata provides a good source of calcium and protein, essential for bone health and muscle repair. However, like many cheeses, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is advised for those managing heart health or sodium intake. This versatile cheese’s balanced flavor and nutrient profile make it a tasty addition to meals while offering a rich cultural connection to Argentina’s dairy traditions.
