About Queijo mineiro

Queijo Mineiro, a traditional Brazilian cheese from the state of Minas Gerais, is celebrated for its creamy texture, mild yet tangy flavor, and artisanal production methods. Typically made from raw cow's milk, salt, and natural enzymes, this cheese undergoes a short aging process, which enhances its distinct taste and aroma. Commonly enjoyed as a snack, in sandwiches, or paired with pão de queijo, it is a staple of Brazilian cuisine. Nutritionally, Queijo Mineiro is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle maintenance. However, it can be high in saturated fats and sodium, so it is best consumed in moderation, especially for those monitoring heart health. Opting for organic or authentically produced varieties ensures a more natural product, free of artificial additives. Whether served fresh or aged, Queijo Mineiro offers a delicious balance of cultural heritage and nutrition.
