Eric Rubin's Journal: Queso Fresco
May 9, 2011

Who doesn’t like Queso Fresco? Light, fresh and healthy, it goes with almost anything, Mexican or not. I didn’t always know why I liked it so much until someone told me what it is--basically cottage cheese with the whey (liquid) pressed out. So that explains it! I’ve always loved cottage cheese with Mexican hot sauce (my favorites being Valentina, Tapatio, and Cholula) so that’s why enjoying Queso Fresco the same way made so much sense.
