Performance Notes
Queso fresco is a fresh, young cheese, so the sooner you enjoy it the better. Start cooking with it as soon as you get home from the store -- your tummy will thank you for your proactivity!
Pairing Notes
Mexican lager with a lime, pilsner, and pale ales all taste great with amazingly versatile queso fresco. If you want wine, we recommend whites or rosés and you can’t go wrong with tequila. For our margaritas, we’ll take a little salt on the rim. Please and thank you!
Serve
So many Mexican dishes are enhanced with creamy, mild queso fresco. We love to use it as a filling for chile relleños and quesadillas or as a topper for enchiladas, tamales and black bean and tortilla soup. If you want to enjoy it fresh and not cooked, crumble and toss it into greens or a fruit salad.
