THE STORY
At the table
Queijo Rabaçal DOP originates from the limestone lands of the Rabaçal region in central Portugal. Its distinctive character is traditionally associated with the local pastures, particularly the presence of Santa Maria herb, an aromatic plant eaten by sheep and goats that contributes to the cheese’s characteristic flavour. It is matured until it develops a firm but supple paste and an intense aroma.
