About Qeso blanco
Queso Blanco, translating to "white cheese" in Spanish, is a creamy, mild, and slightly tangy cheese originating from Latin American cuisine. Made from cow's milk or a combination of cow and goat's milk, it is typically prepared by curdling milk with an acid like vinegar or lemon juice rather than rennet. This gives it a crumbly texture and a fresh, clean taste. Queso Blanco is high in protein and calcium, which support bone health and muscle repair. It is lower in fat compared to some aged cheeses, making it a light choice for many dishes. However, it can be high in sodium, so moderation is key. It’s a versatile ingredient, often crumbled over salads, melted into sauces, or as a topping for tacos and enchiladas. Its simple preparation and nutritional benefits make it a beloved staple in traditional and modern recipes alike.
