E-beric Expert Suggestion For a pairing that matches the prestige of this cheese, we recommend our Baltazar's – Douro Grande Reserva Red Wine. The structure and dark fruit notes of this 2017 Douro Reserva stand up perfectly to the intense, salty complexity of the aged Ilha Velho, creating a sophisticated, harmonious balance.

Serving Suggestion Pair this robust cheese with artisanal fruit preserves. The sweetness of the fruits tempers the intensity of the aging, providing a perfectly balanced taste experience.
