Queijo Serra da Estrela DOP
A cured raw sheep’s-milk cheese, buttery when young and firmer and more intense in its aged form.
THE STORY
At the table
Made with raw milk from local sheep and traditionally coagulated with thistle, Serra da Estrela cheese is a defining product of the mountain region. The young cheese has a soft, buttery paste; longer ageing produces the firmer, more concentrated Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho.
