Gayo Azul debuted Queso Fresco. Gayo Azul is a brand that represents the best of Latin American cheese, and Queso Fresco joins the product range that includes Cotija, Queso Blanco, and other authentic cheeses that bring a touch of Latin flavor to any dish.
"Gayo Azul has been a constant companion in many kitchens for years, and we are thrilled to add Gayo Azul Queso Fresco to our lineup," says Josh Rosen, brand manager at FrieslandCampina, Gayo Azul's parent company. "With the rise in Hispanic influence in cheeses and other dishes, Queso Fresco is sure to be a big hit at home to enjoy 'Taco Tuesdays' and other food occasions," adds Rosen.
The new Queso Fresco joins the other Gayo Azul® cheese varieties, which are conveniently available in diverse offerings including:
- Cotija: A firm and crumbly Mexican aged cow's milk cheese with a sharp, slightly salty flavor, perfect for enchiladas, tacos, and street corn toppings.
- Dutch Edam: A firmer cousin of Gouda with a rich flavor and smooth, creamy texture, ideal for cheeseboards, baking dishes, and salads.
- European Swiss: A semi-firm cheese boasting a sweet, nutty taste and iconic round holes, suitable for burgers, cold, and grilled sandwiches.
- Queso Blanco: A fresh white cow’s milk cheese with a slightly salty and mild flavor. Its young age creates an irresistibly creamy yet crumbly texture that holds its shape well, making it ideal for grilling.
- Queso Para Freir: A fresh white cow's milk cheese with a slightly salty, mild flavor known for its higher melting point, perfect for frying, sandwiches, and baked dishes.
