São Jorge PDO Cheese – 7 Months Aged

São Jorge Cheese is a true gastronomic icon of the Azores, produced exclusively on the island of São Jorge, with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). Made from raw cow's milk and following artisanal methods passed down from generation to generation, this cheese reflects the richness of the island's green pastures, shaped by the Atlantic climate and volcanic soils.

Aged for 7 months, it has a firm yet buttery texture and an intense yellow color. Its flavor is striking and balanced, with slightly spicy and persistent notes, while retaining its characteristic smoothness. Its aromas are intense and complex, revealing the authenticity of a product that is a symbol of Portuguese gastronomic heritage.

Versatile at the table, it is perfect enjoyed on its own, on cheese boards, or as an ingredient in traditional and contemporary recipes. It pairs perfectly with full-bodied wines, especially reds from the Alentejo or Douro regions, or even a Tawny Port.

A unique cheese, born from the lush nature of the Azores and the expertise of its master cheesemakers.
