Queijo Serra da Estrela PDO is a celebrated Portuguese cheese crafted from the raw milk of ewes native to the Serra da Estrela region. This artisanal cheese is distinguished by its creamy texture and strong, distinct flavor, which are achieved through traditional methods of production.
A key ingredient in its making is the thistle flower, used as a natural coagulant. The process involves meticulously curdling the milk with the thistle, followed by careful aging to develop its unique taste and texture.
