Serpa cheese

It has a Protected designation of origin (PDO)[1] and is listed on the Ark of Taste.

Queijo Serpa is a cured, semi-soft cheese made with raw sheep milk and extracts of Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) as coagulant.

According to a traditional manufacturing process, no Fermentation starter culture added and pasteurization is not used.

[2] Some aspects of the traditional manufacturing process are rooted in religious beliefs such as the Muslin used to filter the curd being folded exactly forty times.
