Queijo Fresco is a fresh cheese popular in Portugal and Brazil. It is made from cow's milk, goat's milk, or sheep's milk and has a soft, creamy texture. The cheese is typically white and has a mild, slightly tangy flavor, making it versatile for various dishes. This cheese is often enjoyed on its own, in salads, or as a topping for bread. Queijo Fresco is also used in traditional recipes, such as pastéis de nata and tortas. Its high moisture content means it should be consumed relatively quickly after production for the best taste and texture.
