Queso Fresco is a fresh, ivory-white, sweet and mild cheese with its origins in Mexico. It is a higher moisture cheese with a crumbly, fine-grained texture. Perfect for finishing enchiladas, huevos rancheros, salads, tacos, refried beans or stuff in chile rellenos. Try this fresh cheese crumbled over fruits and desserts.
In 2000, Andrew Herold and Kim Reddy followed their passion for Hispanic cheeses with tradional flavor profiles and began making their own in a small dairy plant in Michigan. Herald had already dedicated 22 years in the cheesemaking industry, with 16 of those dedicated to making Mexican -type cheeses. Preserving old-world technique, they have successfully matched these flavors and now make them with Wisconsin's finest quality, fresh milk at an innovative plant in Central Wisconsin.
Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
