"Delicious, tradicional and gluten free cheese bread from Minas Gerais - Brazil. Sweet cassava starch yields chewier cheese breads while sour cassava starch results on drier and hollow cheese breads, combined create great ballance. The cheese can vary but should always be cured. Goes really well with savory or sweet fillings such as guava paste or pulled chicken and magnificent on its own with some coffee! Get creative 😉"
