Brazil
In Brazil, pão de queijo is a popular breakfast dish and snack. Made of cassava starch, a large number of consumers prefer to buy the mix and bake the bread at home, rather than buying it ready-made; however, pão de queijo continues to be widely sold at snack bars and bakeries. "Casa do Pão de Queijo", a specialized national chain, has expanded considerably due to a recipe that produces a distinctive, slightly sour version. On the BR-381 road, near Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais state capital, there's a snack bar/restaurant called Beléus, which is famous for it's pão de queijo that has a piece of melted canastra cheese inside and is considered one of the best. They also sell the unbaked dough by weight. Pão de queijo can also be bought frozen at supermarkets for baking, with brands such as Forno de Minas, Casa do Pão de Queijo and many others featuring as producers. In Brazil, cheese puff mix packages are easily found in most supermarkets, with brands such as Yoki and Hikari dominating the market. A continuing growth exists for pre-prepared products, with brand availability depending on the particular supermarket.
