About Queijo fresco
Queijo Fresco, or "fresh cheese," is a traditional Portuguese dairy product known for its soft, moist texture and mild flavor. Made from cow, goat, or sheep's milk, it is minimally processed, preserving its natural creamy taste and nutritional qualities. This cheese is rich in high-quality protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, supporting muscle function and bone health. Unlike aged cheeses, Queijo Fresco is lower in fat and sodium, making it a lighter option suitable for health-conscious diets. It is enjoyed in various ways across Portuguese cuisine—spread on bread, added to salads, or served with fruit. While its lower calorie content is a positive attribute, it's advisable to consume in moderation due to its cholesterol levels. Overall, Queijo Fresco is revered for its balance of nutrition and flavor, offering a wholesome addition to a Mediterranean-inspired diet.
