Where to find ingredients
You can find whole milk, white vinegar, and margarine at local grocery stores or convenience shops in the dairy and pantry aisles. If you cannot find high-quality margarine, high-fat butter may be used as a substitute, though margarine is the traditional choice for the classic texture.
Preparation method
- Bring the milk to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot.
- Carefully remove about two fingers' width of the boiled milk and set it aside in a glass.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of vinegar to the remaining milk in the pot and stir thoroughly.
- Allow the milk to curdle completely.
- Drain away the whey, retaining only the cheese curds.
- Transfer the cheese curds into a blender.
- Add the reserved milk, margarine, and salt to taste.
- Blend all ingredients for a few minutes until the mixture reaches a perfectly smooth and creamy consistency.
- Pour the finished requeijão into a glass jar or airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to firm up properly.
