The lawyer and business manager and also a member of the Academia Portuguesa de Gastronomia,  commented on the Vale da Estrela PDO cheese, considering that “it’s a show!”

In a brief statement to his colleague from Quadratura do Círculo, António Lobo Xavier says: Jorge, tasting notes: yes, the cheese is a show!

Bright and creamy dough, at the point of ideal greasiness, soft and tasty rind! Congratulations!

It’s really going well!

Very different, better from all the other cheese I see around!

An old-fashioned cheese!

Another member of the Portuguese Academy of Gastronomy, former ambassador Seixas da Costa, also made a statement, last month, on Serra da Estrela Cheese.
