About Requeson

Requeson is a fresh soft cheese commonly found in Brazil and Portugal, also known as Requeijao or Requeijão. Made from cow's, goat's, or sheep's milk, it can be prepared using either pasteurized or unpasteurized milk. This cheese has a whey-based texture, making it creamy and spreadable. It is known for its white color and does not have a rind. Requeson is characterized by its salty and strong flavor, which is balanced by a fresh aroma. Due to its soft texture, it is often used as a filling for pastries or as a spread on bread.
