Minas cheese is a popular Brazilian cheese known for its mild flavor and versatile texture. Originating from the state of Minas Gerais, it is made from cow's milk and can be found in various forms, including fresh, semi-soft, and aged varieties. The cheese is often used in traditional Brazilian dishes and pairs well with fruits and breads. The production of Minas cheese involves a simple process of curdling milk, draining whey, and pressing the curds. It is typically enjoyed fresh but can also be aged to develop a stronger taste. Its creamy texture makes it a favorite for both cooking and snacking.
