The taste
we missed most.

Hi! We’re Erika and Tuca, a Brazilian couple and partners in life and business, here in North Liberty. We’ve lived in the US for over ten years, and of everything we miss from Brazil, pão de queijo has always been number one.

Erika loves to cook, so we started making our own. It took years of batches to get it right: the taste and texture we remembered, golden outside, soft and chewy inside, with real cheese all the way through.

Now we’re sharing it with our neighbors, made with the same care we put into making it for ourselves.

Muito bom!!!
That’s Portuguese for “so good.”

Make them golden.

Prepare straight from frozen.
Do not thaw.

Air fryer

345°F · Bake mode
About 15 minutes

Set the air fryer to 345°F on Bake mode. Cook from frozen for about 15 minutes. If you like, turn them halfway through for a more even rise and a crisper outside.

Start checking at 10 minutes, then every 2 minutes, until golden to your liking.

Conventional oven

345°F · Preheated
15–20 minutes

Preheat the oven to 345°F. Arrange the frozen pieces on a baking tray; do not thaw.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, checking toward the end, and remove when golden to your liking.

Times are a guide. Adjust for your appliance and the finish you enjoy, from a lighter outside to a deeper golden crust.
