Product Description

Queijo Minas Fresco is a soft and creamy cheese made from the milk of cows that graze on the lush green hills of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This cheese is known for its unique flavor and creamy texture and is often used in Brazilian cuisine. The cheese is made from a combination of cow's milk and cream and is aged for several days to develop its flavor. Queijo Minas Fresco is a versatile cheese that can be used in various dishes, from salads and sandwiches to pasta and pizza. It is also a popular snack and can be enjoyed independently or paired with fruits, nuts, and bread. Whether you are a cheese lover or a Brazilian cuisine enthusiast, Queijo Minas Fresco is a must-try cheese that is sure to impress. The Frescal variety of Minas cheese is served between 4 and 10 days after aging. It is white, tender, juicy, and soft with a mild flavor. The texture can be spongy, with many air bubbles and a little granulated. Fresh Minas cheese is best used in crepes and sandwiches as it is not yet good for cooking. It is often served together with goiabada – made from guavas. When these two flavors are combined it is known as romeu-e-julieta (Romeo & Juliet) and the combination can be seen in cakes, pies or even ice-cream. Minas media-cura, or half-aged, is a cheese that has matured for around 1-5 weeks. Fully cured Minas – or curado cheese is ready to eat when the juicy softness has evaporated and the cheese has solidified. At this point, it has a yellowish tint. The curado cheese still has a white paste with tiny air bubbles. It is more granulated than the fresh version, and the taste is stronger; it can even become slightly bitter. Curado Minas is good for cooking and is used in many traditional dishes, like the famous pão de queijo (cheese bun).
