It is a largely cassava root (tapioca) and cheese based bread.It is commonly made from cheeses such as Minas Frescal, Canastra, mozzarella or parmesan cheese.Here we use cheddar since it has bolder flavor and a more firm texture than mozzarella, and the other two more authentic cheeses are harder to find in the U.S.
