Coalho Cheese – Authentic Brazilian Flavour for Your Business
Like many cheeses around the world – including the first in human history, coalho cheese originated almost by chance. Famous along the entire Brazilian coastline, it has been a beloved Brazilian delicacy for over 150 years. While its exact inventor is unknown, it emerged in the Northeast region, which remains the largest producer to this day.
Today, coalho cheese goes far beyond beachside snacks, becoming a versatile ingredient in salads, appetisers, barbecues, snacks, and traditional dishes such as baião de dois.
