Queijo, the Portuguese word for cheese, encompasses a variety of cheese types originating from Portugal, including popular options like Queijo da Serra, Queijo São Jorge, and Queijo de Azeitão. Made from cow's, goat's, or sheep's milk, these cheeses range from soft and creamy to firm and aged, catering to diverse tastes. Rich in calcium, protein, and essential fats, queijo supports bone health and muscle repair. Some varieties also offer probiotics, aiding digestion. However, queijo can be high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. It’s a staple in Portuguese cuisine, often enjoyed with bread, olives, or wine, or as an ingredient in traditional dishes. Whether served as a snack or part of a meal, queijo brings a flavorful touch of Portuguese culinary tradition to the table.
