Queijo de Nisa

Queijo de Nisa is a delectable semi-hard cheese made from sheep's milk, originating from the picturesque town of Nisa in Portugal's Alto Alentejo region. Crafted using raw milk and a thistle infusion for curdling, this cheese features a distinctive yellowish-white hue and a bold, slightly tangy flavor that lingers on the palate.

Since 1996, Queijo de Nisa has enjoyed protected geographical status, proudly holding a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) from the European Commission. This esteemed recognition ensures that only cheese produced in this specific region can bear the name Queijo de Nisa.

Adding to its acclaim, Queijo de Nisa was highlighted by Wine Spectator magazine as one of the top 100 cheeses in the world. It earned a spot in their special edition celebrating "100 Great Cheeses" a testament to its exceptional quality and taste.
