Its story starts in the 15th century with the arrival of the Flemish community, that was accustomed to the production of milk and its derived products and encouraged the production of this cheese. Five centuries later it has achieved the POD status (Protected Denomination of Origin). This cured cheese, made with raw cow\u2018s milk, has a hard or semi-hard paste and a yellowish colour with a strong aroma and a slightly spicy aftertaste. Its particularity, as with other cheeses, essentially results from the edaphic and climatic characteristics of the island, which provide different pastures that contribute to the milk\u2018s quality, and the fact that the production method has remained almost unaltered for 500 years. <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\t        <\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t    <!--

Its story starts in the 15th century with the arrival of the Flemish community, that was accustomed to the production of milk and its derived products and encouraged the production of this cheese. Five centuries later it has achieved the POD status (Protected Denomination of Origin). This cured cheese, made with raw cow\u2018s milk, has a hard or semi-hard paste and a yellowish colour with a strong aroma and a slightly spicy aftertaste. Its particularity, as with other cheeses, essentially results from the edaphic and climatic characteristics of the island, which provide different pastures that contribute to the milk\u2018s quality, and the fact that the production method has remained almost unaltered for 500 years. <\/p>\n<h3>Related with this product<br\/><\/h3>","post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5682"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5682"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14087,"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5682\/revisions\/14087"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theartoftastingportugal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
