About Queso palmito
Queso Palmito is a fresh, semi-soft cheese originating from Costa Rica, beloved in Central American cuisine. Made from pasteurized cow’s milk, rennet, and salt, it has a mild, creamy flavor with a signature stringy texture, reminiscent of mozzarella. This versatile cheese is commonly enjoyed on its own, alongside tortillas, or melted into traditional dishes. Nutritionally, Queso Palmito is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle function and bone health. However, like many cheeses, it is relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key for those monitoring their intake. Its minimal processing and lack of additives make it a natural and wholesome choice, fitting well into balanced diets when paired with fruits, vegetables, or whole grains. A staple of Costa Rican gastronomy, Queso Palmito offers both delicious flavor and cultural authenticity.
