    Fresco in this case means fresh. It’s a mild cheese that isn’t aged. You can add more salt if you want but it is supposed to be mild.

    It’s a topping to dishes that already have a good amount of flavor. Often with very savory or spicy dishes. It is meant to be a balance of flavor rather than something that brings a lot of it.
