Quer Queijo Amanteigado Goat's Milk Cheese 180 g

This is a soft amanteigado goat's milk cheese from the Alentejo, by Quer Queijo, in a 180 g round. Amanteigado means buttery: a small cheese with a soft heart, sized for two and made to be scooped onto warm bread.

Flavour and texture

Amanteigado cheeses have a thin, supple rind and a paste that turns creamy at room temperature. Goat's milk keeps it fresher and lighter than the sheep's milk versions, with a clean, gently tangy taste.

Food pairing

Leave it out for an hour, cut off the top and spoon it onto toast. Add honey and walnuts, or a few slices of pear. For wine, go for an Alentejo white with Antão Vaz, a Bucelas Arinto, or a chilled Moscatel de Setúbal.
