Queso fresco

Queso fresco is a type of soft, mild, and crumbly cheese made from cow's milk that originated in Mexico.

Queso fresco is typically made by curdling pasteurized milk with an acid, such as vinegar or lemon juice, and then allowing the curds to set before being drained and shaped. The texture of queso fresco is similar to that of cottage cheese or ricotta, but with a slightly firmer consistency.

It has a mild, slightly salty taste, and its flavor can vary depending on the brand and production methods. Queso fresco is often used as a topping or filling in many Mexican dishes, including tacos, enchiladas, salads, and salsas. It can also be crumbled over beans, grilled vegetables, or served alongside fresh fruits.

Due to its mild flavor and crumbly texture, queso fresco is a versatile cheese that pairs well with a variety of flavors. Except in Mexico, it is commonly found in most Latin American countries.
