Where to find ingredients
You can find these cheeses at local supermarkets or specialty deli counters.

Ensure all cheeses are fresh and properly chilled before mixing.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the muçarela, parmesão, provolone, and gorgonzola cheeses.
- Add oregano to the cheese mixture to suit your personal taste.
- Stir all the ingredients gently until they are well combined.
- Use the filling chilled to assemble the pastéis.
