Queijo Coalho

Queijo Coalho is a traditional Brazilian cheese from the Northeast, often sold as a firm, slightly salty block and commonly grilled or served as a snack. It’s known for its golden crust when cooked and mild, milky flavor. Nutritionally, Queijo Coalho is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 22.4g of protein per 100g, and it also supplies substantial calcium; however it is relatively high in saturated fat and salt compared with many other cheeses. From a health perspective, it offers high-quality protein and useful levels of calcium for bone health, making it a satisfying ingredient in small portions; for everyday use, choosing lower-fat or lower-sodium alternatives or using smaller amounts can help reduce saturated fat and salt intake.
