Queso Seco
Central American Style Crumbling Cheese
Queso Seco is a traditional Central American cheese known for its firm, dry texture and bold salty flavor. It’s popular in countries like Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador, where it’s a staple in home cooking. As its name suggests, Queso Seco means “dry cheese”; it’s pressed to remove moisture, lightly aged, and typically crumbled. Its texture is firm enough to grate easily, yet soft enough to crumble with your fingers. Tropical Queso Seco comes conveniently in chunks, so you can use it as you prefer.
The flavor of Tropical Queso Seco is salty, savory, and slightly tangy, making it perfect for adding a punch of flavor to everyday dishes. It doesn’t fully melt when heated, so it holds its shape in warm dishes while still softening slightly. Because of this, it’s loved as a topping, a filling, or a finishing cheese in many meals.
How to eat Tropical Queso Seco:
- Crumbled over beans, rice, plantains, or yuca
- Sprinkled on soups and stews for salty depth
- Stuffed into pupusas, empanadas, or yuca frita
- Served alongside eggs, avocado, and crema in traditional breakfasts
Enjoy it with our Tropical Crema Centroamericana on top of your preferred dish.
