Where to find ingredients
You can find these cheeses in the dairy section of larger local supermarkets or specialty deli counters. Requeijão cremoso is a signature Brazilian cream cheese; if unavailable, a thick, high-fat cream cheese can serve as a substitute, though the texture and salt content will differ from the traditional recipe.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the muçarela, provolone, and parmesão cheeses.
- Add the chopped gorgonzola and the requeijão cremoso to the bowl.
- Sprinkle in the oregano to taste.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you have a uniform, spreadable paste.
- Place in the refrigerator to firm up, and use the filling chilled when preparing your pastéis.
