How Is Queso Fresco Made?

Like most cheeses, queso fresco is made by heating cow’s milk and adding a starter culture, which is a combination of bacteria and enzymes. This starter culture is responsible for giving queso fresco its unique flavor and texture, which is why we place so much emphasis on this step.

Once the starter culture is added, the mixture is left to ripen until the desired texture and flavor are achieved. After that, the cheese is carefully cut and drained, then pressed into a wheel or block. Finally, the finished queso fresco is cooled and packaged for sale.

At Cheesemakers, our signature queso fresco — along with all of our other cheeses — is manufactured in a Safe Quality Food (SQF)-certified facility that has been thoroughly inspected by the FDA and the Texas Department of Health. This means you can expect safe, consistent, and high-quality products each and every time you order from us.
