About Queijo amanteigado

Queijo Amanteigado is a traditional Portuguese cheese known for its rich, creamy, and buttery texture. Made primarily from raw or pasteurized sheep's milk, salt, and rennet, it undergoes a meticulous aging process to achieve its signature soft, spreadable consistency. This cheese is a staple in Portuguese cuisine, often enjoyed with bread or as part of a charcuterie board. Its lush, indulgent flavor comes with a high fat content, which contributes to its creamy texture but also makes it calorie-dense. On the positive side, it provides protein and calcium, which are essential for bone health and muscle function. However, due to its rich fat content and sodium levels, portions should be enjoyed in moderation, particularly for individuals monitoring their cholesterol or sodium intake. With its luxurious texture and unique flavor, Queijo Amanteigado is a delightful treat for cheese lovers seeking an authentic taste of Portugal.
