Brejo da Gaia Dona Gaia Goat's Cheese Log

Dona Gaia is a goat's milk cheese log from Brejo da Gaia, a farmhouse dairy in Tramagal, in Portugal's Ribatejo. Farm goat's milk in the classic log shape, ready to slice into neat rounds for a board or a warm salad.

Flavour and texture

A goat's cheese log has a thin rind around a white paste. Under the rind it turns soft and creamy, while the centre stays fresh, lightly chalky and gently tangy.

Food pairing

Grill rounds on toast and serve on a salad with walnuts and honey. Pair slices with fig jam or roasted peppers. In the glass: a Vinho Verde Alvarinho, a Tejo Fernão Pires or a dry Lisboa rosé.
