Fresca is typically used as a fresh cheese in Mexican and Latin American dishes, perfect for sprinkling over tacos, salads, enchiladas, and beans to add a creamy, slightly tangy flavor.

Fresca can be frozen, but it may alter the texture. It’s best to use fresh, but if needed, wrap it well and freeze for up to 2 months.

Fresca is most often enjoyed raw as a finishing touch on hot dishes but can also be used in cooked recipes.

If fresca develops an off smell, sour taste, or visible mold, it should be discarded.

Fresca is commonly used in salads, tacos, enchiladas, chiles rellenos, elote (Mexican street corn), and soups.

Simply use your fingers or a fork to gently break fresca into small, even crumbles for even distribution.

Fresca is occasionally used in traditional desserts to add creaminess, such as in cheesecakes or stuffings.
