Description:
The Azores were discovered by the Portuguese in the 14th century and played an important strategic role for tall ships on the voyages to and from the New World, India and China. The rich volcanic soil and mild maritime climate of Sao Jorge and Sao Miquel proved ideal for dairy farming and today hundreds of small farms produce cow’s milk throughout the year, delivering it daily to local co-operatives for cheese making.

Imagine the colour and taste of fresh sweet milk with a smooth, luxurious texture reminiscent of baked custard, this Artisan cheese is made with 100% cow's milk and is matured for over a year, it is hard and slightly crumbly with a sweet piquant finish.
