Brejo da Gaia Aged Goat's Milk Cheese 70 g

This is a small aged goat's milk cheese from Brejo da Gaia, a farmhouse dairy in Tramagal, in Portugal's Ribatejo, in a 70 g piece. A whole little cheese for one or two, easy to slip into a picnic or a gift basket.

Flavour and texture

Curing firms the paste and concentrates the taste of goat's milk: clean and tangy at first, then rounder and slightly nutty. The small size means plenty of rind and a well-developed flavour.

Food pairing

Slice it with honey and walnuts, or serve it with olives and a slice of presunto. It is good crumbled over a salad too. For wine: a Vinho Verde Alvarinho, a Tejo white, or a dry Moscatel de Setúbal.

About Brejo da Gaia
