About Queso turrialba

Queso Turrialba is a traditional Costa Rican cheese named after the region of Turrialba, renowned for its dairy production. Made from fresh cow’s milk, it is soft, slightly moist, and has a mild, milky flavor with a subtle tang. This cheese is commonly used in Costa Rican cuisine, often served with tortillas, cassava, or salads, and is a staple in many local dishes. Nutritionally, Queso Turrialba is a good source of calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle maintenance. However, like many cheeses, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be moderated in a balanced diet. Its minimal processing retains essential nutrients, making it a wholesome choice for individuals seeking fresh dairy options. Enjoy it in moderation for a delicious and nutritious addition to your meals.
