About Queijo minas
Queijo Minas is a traditional Brazilian cheese originating from the state of Minas Gerais. This soft, white cheese is made primarily from cow’s milk and comes in two varieties: frescal (fresh) and curado (aged). Rich in calcium and protein, Queijo Minas is a nutritious addition to meals, supporting bone health and muscle maintenance. It is relatively low in fat compared to other cheeses, making it a lighter option for those monitoring fat intake. However, the frescal variety may contain higher water content and sodium, so moderation is advised for those watching their salt levels. Popular in Brazilian cuisine, it is often enjoyed for breakfast, paired with fruit or bread, or incorporated into recipes like pão de queijo (cheese bread). Its mild flavor and versatility make it both a nourishing component and a cultural staple of Brazilian diets.
