Description
Queso anejo is simply an aged version of queso fresco and, while classified as a soft cheese, can actually become quite firm and salty as it ages. It is used primarily as a garnish, crumbled or grated over a variety of dishes and can be found in Mexican markets and some supermarkets. Serve as part of a buffet for game day.
