About Coalho

Coalho, a traditional Brazilian cheese, is a semi-firm, slightly salty dairy product often enjoyed grilled or fried due to its high melting point. Originating from northeastern Brazil, it is a beloved staple in regional cuisine, commonly served as a snack or appetizer. Made primarily from cow's milk, Coalho is rich in protein and calcium, offering nutritional benefits for bone health and muscle maintenance. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats, which may be a concern for individuals monitoring heart health or sodium intake. Its distinctive chewy texture and savory flavor make it a versatile addition to various dishes, from barbecue skewers to salads. While indulgent in moderation, pairing Coalho with fresh vegetables or whole-grain options can enhance its nutritional profile for a balanced meal.
