About Requijao
Requeijão is a creamy, spreadable cheese with origins in Brazil, celebrated for its smooth texture and mild, slightly tangy flavor. Made primarily from milk, cream, salt, and bacterial cultures, it undergoes a heating process that gives it its signature velvety consistency. This versatile dairy product is a staple in Brazilian cuisine, often enjoyed on breads, crackers, or as a topping for various dishes. Nutritionally, requeijão is a good source of calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle function. However, it also tends to be high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be considered when consumed in larger quantities. Its indulgent creaminess makes it a popular choice for comfort foods, balancing wholesome nutrients with occasional drawbacks. Opt for lighter versions or moderate portions to enjoy its creamy goodness while maintaining a healthy diet.
