Fresh Queso Blanco Cheese from Mexico

Queso Blanco is a fresh, unripened white cheese made from cow's milk with a mild flavor and crumbly texture, held together by heat and acid coagulation rather than rennet. It falls under HTS 0406.10.68.00 as 'other fresh cheese' since it is neither whey cheese nor ripened, and does not qualify as Swiss/Emmentaler or Gruyere-process under quota provisions. Typically used in Latin American cuisine for frying or crumbling over salads.
