THE STORY

At the table

Queijo Mestiço de Tolosa IGP originates in Tolosa, in the municipality of Nisa, and reflects the pastoral traditions of Alto Alentejo. Its name 'mestiço' refers to the combination of sheep’s and goat’s milk used in its production. After maturation, it develops a compact texture and a clean, slightly piquant flavour that becomes more pronounced with age.
