Queso Fresco
Queso Fresco is a fresh, unaged cheese, traditionally made from cow's milk, though goat's milk versions also exist. This cheese is known for its mild, slightly salty flavor and crumbly, moist texture that does not melt well when heated. It is commonly used in Mexican and Latin American cuisine as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, and salads, providing a source of protein with a relatively lower fat content compared to aged cheeses.
