About Queijo coalho

Queijo coalho, a Brazilian culinary staple, is a semi-hard cheese known for its mild flavor and firm texture, ideal for grilling or frying. Originating in northeastern Brazil, this cheese is made primarily from cow's milk, coagulated with rennet, and lightly salted. It is celebrated in traditional Brazilian barbecue and street food, often served on skewers, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Nutritionally, queijo coalho is a source of protein and calcium, contributing to muscle and bone health. However, it is moderately high in sodium and saturated fats, so it should be consumed in moderation, especially for individuals monitoring heart health. Its versatility and ability to withstand high heat make it a delicious addition to salads, sandwiches, or a standalone snack enjoyed across Brazilian cuisine.
