Queijo de Coalho

(Queijo Coalho, Brazilian Curd Cheese)

Queijo de coalho is a traditional cow's milk cheese from the northeastern regions of Brazil. The cheese is characterized by its firm, yet elastic texture and a slightly yellow color. Coalho is often sold on sticks for roasting, because it can withstand high temperatures and does not melt easily.


Its flavor is salty and acidic, making it an ideal snack on numerous Brazilian beaches, where it is usually grilled and sprinkled with oregano.
