Where to find ingredients
You can find mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan in the dairy or deli section of any major supermarket. Authentic Brazilian-style requeijão cremoso (often sold under brands like Catupiry or similar) is typically available at specialist Latin American grocers or international food shops; as a substitute, a very thick cream cheese may be used, though the texture and flavour profile will differ.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan.
- Fold in the crumbled gorgonzola and the requeijão cremoso.
- Add the dried oregano to the mixture.
- Stir all ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a uniform, well-blended consistency.
- Chill in the refrigerator to firm up before using as a cold filling for your pastries.
