Queijo de Vaca, or cow's milk cheese, is a creamy and versatile cheese hailing from Portugal. Crafted from fresh cow's milk, it is known for its smooth texture and mild, slightly tangy flavor, making it a staple in Portuguese cuisine. Rich in calcium and protein, Queijo de Vaca supports bone health and muscle function, and it offers essential nutrients like vitamin B12. However, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, so portion control is recommended for those monitoring heart health. Often enjoyed as part of a charcuterie board or melted into traditional dishes, this cheese showcases the country’s artisanal dairy tradition while adding a touch of indulgence to meals.
