Queso Fresco Recipe

Description

Queso fresco is an all-purpose pressed cheese that can be eaten the same day its made, stored in the fridge for weeks, and enjoyed in all the classic cheesy ways: sandwiches, snacking, and cooking. It even melts beautifully! So if aging cheese is problematic for you but you still want to make wheels of cheese, this one’s for you! The process for making queso fresco allows you to practice all the steps of traditional cheesemaking (culturing the milk, adding rennet, cooking the curds, and pressing a cheese), but without the long wait required by most aging processes.
