About Queso panela

Queso Panela is a versatile, fresh Mexican cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk. It has a mild flavor with a soft yet firm texture that holds its shape, making it ideal for grilling, frying, or crumbling over dishes. Traditionally a staple in Mexican cuisine, it is commonly used in salads, tacos, or as a standalone snack. Low in fat and calories compared to many other cheeses, Queso Panela is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and bone strength. It contains minimal sodium, making it a heart-friendly choice for those watching their salt intake. However, like all dairy products, it can be high in cholesterol and may not suit those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies. For a balanced diet, enjoy Queso Panela in moderation as part of a healthy meal.
