About Queijo da ilha
Queijo da Ilha, also known as "Island Cheese," is a traditional cheese originating from the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago. Made primarily from cow’s milk, it boasts a semi-hard texture and a rich, tangy flavor with a hint of saltiness. Its production often involves natural aging, resulting in a cheese that is both versatile and packed with robust character. Queijo da Ilha is a valuable source of calcium and protein while offering essential vitamins like B12, promoting bone health and muscle function. However, it is relatively high in sodium and saturated fats, which should be enjoyed in moderation by those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Commonly found in Portuguese cuisine, it complements breads, fruits, or meats, adding depth to dishes. Whether used in cooking or enjoyed on its own, Queijo da Ilha offers a satisfying balance of indulgence and nutrition when consumed appropriately.
