Queso Fresco
Queso Fresco is a soft, crumbly Mexican fresh cheese.

It is often made from a mixture of cow's and sheep's milk.

Cooking Tips
Crumble over salads, or dishes to be cooked, or use as a cheese to stuff things with. Softens when heated but doesn't melt.

Substitutes
Dry-curd Cottage Cheese, Feta (well-rinsed to reduce the saltiness). Ricotta made from whey (not whole milk ricotta). Or really, whatever cooking cheese you have to hand, but just place it in such as way that doesn't do anything to encourage it to melt out all over the place.

Language Notes
When sold in large blocks, it is generally called "adobera".

Also called: Adobera Adobera, Queso fresco (Spanish)
