Premium Yellow Cheese de Castelo Branco DOP

Cured semi-soft to semi-hard cheese with a slightly yellow paste and a few irregular eyes, obtained by draining the curd after coagulation of raw sheep’s milk, or a blend of sheep’s and goat’s milk, using animal rennet. Produced exclusively within its protected geographical area, this cheese reflects the deep artisanal tradition of Beira Baixa.

It presents a natural rind and a color ranging from soft yellow to toasted yellow. On the palate, it reveals a clean, slightly tangy flavor, with a smooth and balanced texture that becomes richer with age. Its aroma is intense and distinctive, a true expression of Portugal’s cheesemaking heritage.
