Buy fresco online

Fresco is a versatile fresh cheese often used in Mexican and Latin American dishes, added to salads, tacos, enchiladas, or crumbled over beans and soups.

Freezing fresco cheese is not recommended as it can change its texture, making it crumbly and less flavorful.

Fresco cheese softens when heated but does not melt smoothly. It works well crumbled over hot dishes rather than for melting.

Use clean hands or a fork to gently break the cheese into small pieces just before serving.

Fresco cheese is ideal for garnishing tacos, tostadas, enchiladas, salads, soups, and beans.

Fresco cheese is usually crumbled, not shredded, because of its soft and crumbly texture.

Store it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.

Keep fresco cheese in its original packaging or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use within 5-7 days after opening.

Look for signs like sour smell, visible mold, or a slimy texture. If any are present, discard the cheese.

Yes, fresco cheese is excellent for crumbling over dishes, stuffing into chiles, or topping baked recipes, but it won't melt like other cheeses.

When refrigerated and unopened, it lasts about two weeks. Once opened, use within 5-7 days.

If fresco cheese is unavailable, use cheeses like feta (less salty), ricotta salata, or cotija, though the texture and flavor may vary.

Ensure the fresco cheese is made with pasteurized milk and stored properly before consumption during pregnancy.
