Queijo coalho or Queijo de coalho (Portuguese pronunciation: [keiˈʒu ˈkwaʎu] "coalho cheese") is a firm but very lightweight cheese produced in Brazil, with an almost 'squeaky' texture when bitten into. It is a popular and cheap snack on the beach in Brazil, where walking vendors brown rectangular slabs of it in hand-held charcoal ovens, often with a sprinkling of oregano and garlic-flavored sauce. It is eaten off a stick, much like a kebab. Many people also eat it with molasses.
