São Jorge DOP Cheese – 7-month aged raw milk cheese from the Azores 300g

The legendary taste of the Azores, shaped by Portugal's volcanic soul São Jorge DOP is a world-renowned semi-hard cheese, exclusively produced on the island of São Jorge. Crafted using centuries-old tradition from raw cow's milk (unpasteurized), it preserves the natural enzymes and the unique floral character of the island's high-altitude pastures.

Aged for a minimum of 7 months, this cheese offers a robust, clear, and slightly piquant profile – a true hallmark of its Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) status.

Product Details Authentic Raw Milk Made from unpasteurized milk for deeper, natural complexity DOP Certified Guaranteed origin and traditional craftsmanship from the Azores Islands Flavor Profile Intense and lingering with a sophisticated, spicy finish Aging Seven months of slow maturation to achieve the perfect firm texture

E-beric Expert Selection For a cheese of this intensity, we recommend a wine with equal power and structure: our Palácio dos Távoras Grande Reserva. The bold character, firm tannins, and deep complexity of this Trás-os-Montes red wine are the perfect complement to the piquant notes of aged São Jorge. This is the ultimate pairing for true connoisseurs of authentic Portuguese flavors.

Serving Suggestion To fully appreciate the complex raw milk flavors, remove the cheese from the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or artisanal fruit preserves.
