QUEIJO COALHO OLLA 340G

Olla Brazilian Grilling Cheese - Brazilian Curd Cheese 11.99 oz.

Queijo de Coalho, also known as Brazilian Curd Cheese, hails from the northeastern regions of Brazil. Here are some key points about this unique cheese:

1. Texture and Flavor:

   • It has a firm, yet elastic texture.
   • The cheese is slightly yellow in color.
   • Its flavor is mild, a bit salty, and slightly acidic.

2. Grilling Magic:

   • Queijo de Coalho is specially crafted to withstand high temperatures without melting easily.
   • When grilled, it develops a beautifully browned and crisped exterior while maintaining a near-molten interior.
   • Imagine a golden surface with a lightly salty and tangy flavor—utterly irresistible!

3. Serving Style:

   • In Brazil, it’s often sold on sticks for roasting, much like kebabs.
   • You’ll find it as preassembled cheese skewers in Brazilian markets or occasionally online.
   • If you can’t find the authentic Queijo de Coalho, you can improvise using more commonly available cheeses like halloumi or bread cheese.

4. Flavor Enhancements:

   • Once grilled, you can dress these cheese skewers with various toppings:
     • Sprinkle dried oregano for an herbal kick.
     • Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil mixed with finely minced garlic.
     • Try them with aioli or a similar Brazilian sauce called “molho de alho.”
