About Queijo flamengo

Queijo Flamengo, also known as "Flamengo cheese," is a semi-soft, mild cheese originating from Portugal. It is comparable in texture and flavor to Edam cheese, with a creamy, smooth consistency and slightly tangy taste. Made primarily from cow’s milk, the cheese is often sold in ball-shaped forms coated with wax, which helps preserve its freshness. Queijo Flamengo is a staple in Portuguese cuisine, frequently used in sandwiches, baked dishes, and as a table cheese. Nutritionally, Queijo Flamengo is a source of calcium and protein, essential for bone health and muscle repair. However, it is relatively high in saturated fats and sodium, which may require moderation for individuals managing heart health or blood pressure. Due to its versatility and crowd-pleasing flavor, Queijo Flamengo remains a popular choice for meals and snacks, offering indulgence with some health benefits when enjoyed in balanced portions.
