Generic Azeitao

Portugal, Setubal, Palmela and Sesimbra

Azeitao cheese hails from the picturesque region of Setubal in Portugal, where the rolling hills are home to the prized Merino sheep. This artisanal cheese is crafted using traditional methods that date back centuries, showcasing the rich pastoral heritage of the area. Its creamy, buttery texture and distinctive flavor profile are a testament to the lush pastures where the sheep graze. Azeitao is not just a cheese; it's a cultural emblem, often enjoyed with a glass of regional red wine.
