Origin stories
Cheesebread, also known as pão de queijo in Brazil, has its origins in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. It is a popular traditional snack and a staple in Brazilian cuisine. The recipe for pão de queijo dates back to the 18th century when African slaves and Portuguese colonizers mixed cassava starch (later replaced by wheat flour) with cheese to create a simple and delicious treat. Today, cheesebread is enjoyed not only in Brazil but also around the world for its unique combination of cheesy and chewy goodness.
