Queso fresco is an essential part of Guatemalan cuisine – a soft, white, crumbly cheese used to top beans, enchiladas, chuchitos (small tamales), and nearly any savory dish. It is produced by small dairy operations throughout the country. The best-known varieties come from Zacapa, Chiquimula, and the Verapaces. Market cheese is typically sold by weight, unwrapped.
