About KROGER, NATURAL QUESO FRESCO CRUMBLING CHEESE
Kroger Natural Queso Fresco Crumbling Cheese is a traditional Mexican fresh cheese made from just three ingredients: cultured pasteurized milk, salt, and enzymes. Queso fresco is a mild, slightly tangy, crumbly white cheese that does not melt smoothly like mozzarella or cheddar but rather softens and holds its shape when heated, making it ideal for crumbling over hot dishes. The ingredient simplicity reflects its artisan-style fresh-cheese heritage, with no anti-caking agents, colors, or preservatives.
As a dairy product, it contains milk. The Kroger Natural label indicates no artificial additives. It is naturally gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free based on the listed ingredients. Queso fresco is not a vegan product.
Nutritionally, this cheese provides approximately 286 calories per 100 g with 21.4 g protein, 21.4 g fat, and 3.6 g carbohydrates. It is a good source of protein and calcium per serving. The slightly lower fat content compared to aged cheeses reflects its fresh, high-moisture nature. It is traditionally used crumbled over tacos, enchiladas, black beans, soups, and elotes (Mexican street corn). Its mild saltiness and soft, crumbly texture add a creamy contrast to spicy or savory dishes without overwhelming other flavors.
