Queso Blanco

Queso Blanco is a mild, fresh Latin American cheese often used in Mexican and Central American cooking; it holds its shape when heated and is commonly served crumbled, sliced or fried. It is a good dairy source of protein, providing about 20g of protein per 100 g, and is also a notable source of calcium. While it supplies high-quality protein and useful minerals, it is relatively rich in saturated fat so portioning is helpful if you watch saturated-fat intake.
