Origin: Portugal

Texture: Firm

Milk: Cow

As its name suggests, this DOP cheese is made on the island of São Miguel and aged for a minimum of nine months. Known as the “black rind cheese”, the hard cow’s milk cheese is enrobed in black paraffin and has a salty, piquant flavor. Similar to a gouda cheese, there are lots of tyrosine flavor crystals, this cheese makes for a beautiful addition to any cheeseboard and is a rare cow's milk cheese, as Portugal is known for sheep's milk cheeses most commonly.
