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.
