I made some queso fresco last night with this recipe - https://dailywellrecipes.com/homemade-feta-cheese-in-5-minutes-just-lemon-and-milk/
It’s okay. I give it 2/5 stars. Needs way more salt.
This recipe https://ethnicspoon.com/how-to-make-perfect-queso-fresco/ uses 50% more salt and acid.
Should I let it age? It’s an acids set not fermented cheese, so I don’t think so, but idk. Would the flavor improve in the fridge for a while?


I’d break up the queso fresco, grind some salt to a powder with a mortar and pestle, add it to the queso fresco and mix together, then put the ball back in some cheese cloth and re-press it. You could probably add a sprinkle of water before putting it in the cloth to help the texture if it’s too crumbly. Queso fresco needs to be salty, otherwise it’s just like dry ricotta.
Good idea thanks.
