Queijo Branco, or "white cheese," is a popular ingredient in Brazilian and Portuguese cuisines, known for its mild flavor and creamy texture. Made primarily from cow's milk, it is fresh and minimally processed, often resembling a firmer cottage cheese or farmer’s cheese. Rich in protein and calcium, Queijo Branco supports bone health and muscle repair. It is lower in fat compared to many aged cheeses, making it a lighter option for those seeking to manage dietary fat intake. This cheese pairs well with breads, fruits, and salads, offering versatility in savory and sweet dishes. However, its sodium content can be a concern for individuals monitoring their blood pressure. A nutritious staple in moderation, Queijo Branco provides essential nutrients while adding a creamy touch to meals without overwhelming them in flavor.
