Queijo Serpa DOP
A traditional PDO sheep’s milk cheese from the Alentejo, known for its creamy to semi-soft texture and intense, slightly piquant flavour.
THE STORY
At the table
Queijo Serpa DOP is one of the emblematic cheeses of the Alentejo. Produced from raw sheep’s milk, it is coagulated using an infusion of cardoon flowers, a traditional vegetable coagulant. As it matures, the cheese develops a strong aroma and complex flavour, with longer-aged examples becoming firmer and more intense.
