Cacique Ranchero Queso Fresco, 2/1.25 lb

Cacique Ranchero Queso Fresco is a traditional Mexican fresh cheese made with cultured pasteurized Grade A milk and skim milk from California cows not treated with rBST. This twin pack contains two 20-ounce wheels of soft, moist, curd-style cheese that delivers a bright, creamy, and pleasantly milky flavor.

Queso fresco is the quintessential embodiment of Mexican cheese, traditionally made by ranchers who wake early each day to begin the cheesemaking process. Ranchero Queso Fresco is perfect for crumbling over tacos, salads, and enchiladas, or using as a stuffing cheese in dishes like chile rellenos. Its soft yet compact consistency makes it versatile for both cooking and finishing dishes, helping to balance out the flavors in rich and spicy recipes.

Cacique Foods, founded in 1973 in City of Industry, California, has been a Costco supplier since 1992. The company was started when Gilbert de Cardenas began producing queso fresco after immigrating from Cuba with his family in 1971.
