Where to find ingredients
You can find all these cheeses at local supermarkets in the dairy and specialty deli sections. For the requeijão cremoso, look for specialized Latin American food shops or international aisles, as it is a unique Brazilian creamy cheese essential for the texture; a high-quality cream cheese or spreadable processed cheese can be used as a substitute if necessary.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheeses.
- Fold in the crumbled gorgonzola and the requeijão cremoso.
- Add the dried oregano according to your preference.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator to firm up before using the filling cold inside your pastéis.
