About Portuguese cheeses
Portuguese cheeses are a cornerstone of Portugal’s rich culinary tradition, offering a diverse array of flavors, textures, and aromas. Made from cow, goat, or sheep milk—or blends thereof—they include iconic varieties like Queijo da Serra, creamy and pungent; Queijo de Azeitão, semi-soft and tangy; and Queijo São Jorge, firm and aromatic. These cheeses are often crafted using traditional methods, some dating back centuries, contributing to their distinct regional profiles. Nutritionally, Portuguese cheeses are rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health, but they can also be high in saturated fat and sodium, requiring moderation. Integral to Portuguese cuisine, they pair beautifully with breads, wines, and fruits, often enjoyed as appetizers or desserts. Whether indulging in their signature decadence or seeking artisanal quality, Portuguese cheeses are celebrated for their authenticity and wholesome appeal.
