The Shepherd's Cheese Experience

Immerse yourself in traditional cheese-making techniques!

Getting to know cheese, from the pasture to the table, with Serra da Estrela surrounding the landscape, accompany the shepherd to the grazing fields where the Bordaleira sheep give rise to the divine flavor of Serra da Estrela cheese.

Learn how milking is done in the sheepfold, and then taste this piece of Portuguese cuisine and learn more about the history of this millenary cheese.
