WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF CHEESE BREAD?
Cheese bread has its origin in the region of Serra da Canastra and in the south of the state of Minas Gerais. Although it is not known for sure when this delicacy was created, researchers believe that its emergence was around the 18th century.
The idea of creating the cheese-based bread came mainly from the need for better nutrition for the Portuguese who came to Brazil and lacked the supply of products to produce breads, such as wheat, replacing this with tapioca starch and using cheese which, at the time, was not considered such a quality product.
When can I eat cheese bread at meals?
There are many ways to consume cheese bread. This is due to its versatility as a food and the possibility of associating this delicacy in different ways:
Breakfast: Traditional cheese bread is a great food to start the day, and can be consumed along with coffee, juices, and lighter fillings to start morning activities in a better mood.
