Romeu e Julieta

Romeu e Julieta is Brazil’s most charming pairing — a thick slice of guava paste (goiabada) beside a slice of fresh white cheese, named for the famous lovers because, as Brazilians say, they were made for each other. No cooking, no fuss, just two ingredients that complete each other.

Sweet guava meets salty cheese — a match made in heaven

The guava paste is dense, jammy, and intensely fruity-sweet, while the cheese is mild, milky, and salty. Eaten together, the contrast is perfect — sweet and salty, soft and firm — in one unforgettable bite.
