  • Flavoring – it gives a smoky taste to dishes.
  • Thickener – its thick consistency works as a thickener.
  • Browning – its color makes it suitable as a browning sauce.
  • Caramelizing – it works in caramelizing the outside part of meats.

Last Updated By Lita Watson

Most Mexican recipes use a Mexican type of cheese called Queso Fresco. When translated into English, this literally means Fresh Cheese (which, it is).

Queso Fresco is a firm, semi-soft type of cheese that’s crumbly in nature. As for its taste, it’s mildly flavored (and mildly salty).
