Brejo da Gaia Goat's Cheese Cured in Red Wine 70 g

This is a small goat's milk cheese cured in red wine, from Brejo da Gaia, a farmhouse dairy in Tramagal, Ribatejo, in a 70 g piece. Cheese and wine in one bite: the natural pick for a wine lover's board.

Flavour and texture

Curing in red wine tints the rind purple and adds a fruity, slightly winey note. Inside, the paste stays firm and tangy, with the clean taste of goat's milk and a rounder finish.

Food pairing

Serve it with grapes, walnuts and dark bread. Pour a red from the Tejo or a soft Alentejo red, or try a Lisboa Castelão. A tawny Port at the end of a meal works well too.

About Brejo da Gaia
