About Queso fresco vaca
Queso Fresco Vaca is a traditional Mexican cheese made from cow's milk, known for its mild, slightly tangy flavor and crumbly texture. A staple in Latin American cuisine, it is often used to top dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and salads or paired with fruits for a light snack. This fresh, unaged cheese is rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle repair. However, it is moderately high in sodium and fat, so portion control is key for maintaining a balanced diet. Queso Fresco is typically made with simple ingredients: pasteurized cow's milk, enzymes, and salt, keeping it free from artificial additives. Its light texture and versatility make it a delicious, nutritious addition to meals when enjoyed mindfully.
