Queso Fresco is one of the most widely consumed cheeses among Hispanics, it's name literally means 'Fresh Cheese'. It is made from cow's milk, is white in color, crumbly in texture and most importantly, has a fresh milky taste.

Queso Fresco was imported into Mexico by the Spaniards and has become a staple in most Hispanic households. This delicious white cheese can be eaten as is, crumbled over foods or baked in any of your favorite recipes since it softens but does not melt. It is usually used in traditional dishes such as enchiladas, taquitos, sopes and refried beans.
