Pão de queijo or Brazilian cheese balls is a small, baked cheese roll or cheese ball, a popular snack and breakfast food in Brazil.
It is a traditional Brazilian recipe, originating in the state of Minas Gerais.
In Brazil, it is inexpensive and often sold from streetside stands by vendors carrying a heat-preserving container. It is also commonly found in groceries, supermarkets and bakeries, industrialized or freshly made. The cassava flour is what gives the snack its distinct texture, which is chewy and elastic, being crunchy on the outside. From Wikipedia
