Serra da Estrela cheese

Serra da Estrela cheese is a traditional Portuguese cheese made from raw sheep's milk, originating from the Serra da Estrela region. Known for its creamy texture and rich flavor, this cheese is protected by a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, ensuring its authenticity and quality. The cheese is typically aged for about 30 to 60 days, developing a distinctive flavor profile that varies with the aging process.
