Queijo São Jorge DOP Cheese – 7 Month Aged Azores Cheese (400g)
Crafted on the volcanic island of São Jorge in the Azores, Queijo São Jorge DOP is one of Portugal’s most celebrated traditional cheeses. Aged for 7 months, this distinctive cow’s milk cheese develops a rich, balanced character with a pleasantly tangy finish and subtle savory depth.
Produced using raw cow’s milk and traditional methods, São Jorge cheese has been made by local dairy cooperatives for generations. During its maturation, each wheel slowly develops a firm yet slightly creamy texture and a complex flavor profile that distinguishes it as one of Portugal’s most iconic cheeses.
With its pale yellow interior and small natural openings, Queijo São Jorge offers a layered taste experience — gently sharp, slightly nutty, and balanced with mild sweetness. The 7-month aging period delivers a refined intensity while maintaining smoothness and approachability.
Perfect for cheese boards, sandwiches, or traditional Portuguese dishes, São Jorge cheese pairs beautifully with rustic bread, olives, cured meats, and a glass of red wine.
