Serra da Estrela DOP Sheep Cheese | Arais
Casa Agrícola dos Arais, led by Célia, is a traditional artisanal cheese producer nestled in the charming village of Vide Entre Vinhas, near Celorico da Beira—widely known as the "Capital of Serra da Estrela Cheese.
This D.O.P sheep’s cheese (Queijo de Ovelha DOP) is made with raw sheep’s milk, salt, and thistle flower. Its smooth, buttery texture and rich flavor make it perfect for any cheese lover.
- Ships frozen arrives thawed and ready to refrigerate.
- Before consuming we recommend letting the cheese "breath" for a few days by removing it from the plastic wrap and cheese cloth. If purchasing in the Summer months the cheese may arrive very soft, we recommend refrigerating for few hours before unwrapping.
- You can either slice the cheese when immediately removed from the refrigerator or carve a circle out of the top to make a lid and scoop out the cheese once it's soft (we recommend leaving it out for a few hours to get it very gooey). Put the lid back on until next time (if there is a next time)! The rind is safe to eat.
- Each Cheese weighs Approximately 1.1lbs
PERISHABLE ITEMS SHIP ON MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
If you make your purchase on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday your items will be shipped the following week.
