Cacique Ranchero Queso Fresco (fresh cheese) is the quintessential embodiment of Mexican cheese. And, if you want your homemade dishes to have that authentic, Mexican flavor, we recommend using the real thing!

Cacique Ranchero Queso Fresco is a soft, moist, curd-style fresh cheese that’s bright, creamy, and pleasantly milky. In traditional Mexican cuisine, Queso Fresco is used as a crumbled or cubed topping to balance out the flavors in rich and spicy dishes. It’s a perfect stuffing cheese because of its soft, yet compact, consistency.

Cacique is located in SoCal, in Monrovia. They are strongly rooted in their traditional heritage. And they have a mission to give their consumers the best possible products.

We love using queso fresco in tacos, quesadillas, soups, and all varieties of Mexican dishes. It is great sprinkled over a salad and even in grilled cheese sandwiches.

Try it in our recipes for Potato & Rajas Tacos, Chiles Anchos Rellenos de Queso, Red Chilaquiles, Mushroom Poblano Tortas, Tomatillo Enchiladas, or sprinkled over Charro Beans Chili, or Turkey Burrito Bowls.
