About Minas cheese frescal

Minas Cheese Frescal is a traditional Brazilian cheese from the Minas Gerais region, celebrated for its soft texture and mild, milky flavor. Made from cow's milk, it has a fresh composition with minimal aging, resulting in a creamy and slightly tangy taste. Commonly used in Brazilian cuisine, it complements both savory and sweet dishes, such as pão de queijo and fruit pairings. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle repair. With a lower fat content and fewer calories compared to aged cheeses, Minas Frescal is often considered a lighter dietary option. However, as a fresh cheese, it may contain higher sodium levels, so moderation is recommended for those monitoring salt intake. Overall, its natural ingredients and versatility make Minas Frescal a wholesome and popular choice in balanced diets.
