SAO JORGE D.O.P
Raw Cow's Milk Cheese from Portugal
San Jorge is produced from the milk of cows that graze on the Island of Are Jorge, in the Açores, Portugal. The aroma of the cheese and the flavor are strong, clean and slightly spiced.The rind is hard, with a smooth surface and a yellow color, sometimes with chestnut-colored spots and coated with paraffin. The maturation process is 1-3 months long and the result is a firm cheese with small 'eyes' and a yellowish color.
San Jorge is incredibly versatile. The tangy, slightly peppery undertones are great for cooking, grating, salads or just straight as a table cheese with some crusty bread. Pair with your favorite Red.
