Queso fresco is a fresh, soft cheese commonly used in Mexican cuisine. It is made from cow's milk, although some variations may include goat's milk. The cheese has a mild, slightly tangy flavor and a crumbly texture, making it a versatile ingredient in many dishes. This cheese is often crumbled over salads, tacos, and enchiladas, adding a creamy element to meals. Queso fresco is also enjoyed on its own or paired with fruits and vegetables. It is typically sold in blocks or crumbled form and is best consumed fresh, as it does not age well.
