Back home, Brazilian Cheese Bread, or Pão de Queijo in Portuguese, has always been our ultimate comfort food and a staple in our family's freezer. After living in New Zealand for a few years and experiencing the Covid lockdowns, we both began to feel a deep sense of homesickness. The way we found to stay connected to our roots was through food and the process of making Pão de Queijo.


Over a period of two years, we perfected our recipe using the highest-quality ingredients New Zealand has to offer: organic tapioca starch, sour tapioca starch, fresh milk, fresh free-range eggs, parmesan cheese, aged cheddar, and smoked gouda. With its unique cheese blend, a crispy exterior, a chewy interior, and ready in 30 minutes or less, it makes for the perfect snack or side dish to pair with anything.

We're thrilled to bring the taste of one of the most beloved Brazilian snacks to New Zealand and share our love for Pão de Queijo with everyone.
