Queso Blanco, meaning "white cheese" in Spanish, is a soft, mild cheese traditionally made from cow's milk or a blend of cow and goat milk. Originating in Latin American cuisines, it's prized for its creamy texture and versatility in recipes such as enchiladas, salads, and as a topping for soups and beans. Queso Blanco is often made with minimal ingredients: milk, an acid like vinegar or lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Nutritionally, it is a source of protein and calcium, important for muscle and bone health. However, it can also be high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be moderated in heart-healthy diets. Its simple, unaged preparation process makes it relatively low in additives and preservatives compared to processed cheeses. For those looking for a fresh-tasting cheese that melts minimally, Queso Blanco is a delicious, wholesome option when enjoyed in moderation.
