About Tequeno de queso
Tequeño de Queso is a beloved Venezuelan snack, known for its crispy exterior and rich, cheesy filling. Crafted by wrapping strips of fresh or aged white cheese in soft, unleavened wheat flour dough, these cheese sticks are traditionally deep-fried until golden brown. Originating in Venezuela, they have become a staple in Latin American cuisine, celebrated for their satisfying texture and bold flavor. While tequeños are an indulgent treat, their nutritional profile varies based on preparation. The cheese provides a source of protein and calcium, promoting bone health, while the dough offers carbohydrates for energy. However, deep frying increases calorie content and fat levels, making moderation key to enjoying this snack as part of a balanced diet. Alternatives like oven-baking or air-frying can reduce fat content without sacrificing taste. Tequeño de Queso is a delightful fusion of texture and flavor, capturing the heart of Venezuelan gastronomy.
