Alverca cheese is a semi-hard cheese originating from Portugal, made from either goat's or sheep's milk. It features a firm yet slightly pliable texture, characteristic of artisanal cheeses from the region. Alverca is known for its unique flavor profile that embodies the richness of the local pastures.
Amarelo De Beira Baixa is a traditional Portuguese cheese made from a blend of goat and sheep milk. It originates from the Beira Baixa province, known for its rich pastoral landscapes and artisanal cheese-making practices. The cheese is semi-firm, with a smooth and slightly elastic texture, making it an excellent choice for slicing and melting. Its characteristic yellow color comes from the natural pigments in the milk and is often enhanced by the addition of annatto.
