São Jorge · PORTUGAL
Queijo São Jorge DOP
A cured raw cow’s-milk cheese with a hard or semi-hard paste and an intense, sometimes piquant flavour.
THE STORY
At the table
Produced only on São Jorge, this PDO cheese is the island’s great gastronomic symbol. Its firm, compact paste has occasional small openings, while its clean flavour becomes stronger and more piquant with ageing.
