Queso Oaxaca, also known as Oaxaca cheese, is a traditional Mexican cheese originating from the Oaxaca region. Made primarily from cow’s milk, this semi-soft, white cheese is known for its mild flavor and stringy, mozzarella-like texture, achieved through a process called stretching or "pasta filata." It is often used in Mexican cuisine, particularly for quesadillas, empanadas, and baked dishes due to its excellent melting properties. Nutritionally, Queso Oaxaca is a good source of calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle repair. However, it is moderately high in fat and sodium, which may not suit low-fat or low-sodium diets when consumed in excess. Like all cheeses, it is best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. Its versatility and creamy consistency make it a beloved choice for creating authentic and comforting Mexican dishes.
