Ilha Dos Misterios
by Mitica. Product of Azores, Portugal.
This cheese is our first from the Azorean island of Pico, home to the largest mountain and volcano in Portugal. The cheese is made with fresh milk from the verdant island’s cows. Ilha dos Misterios (island of mysteries) honors the beauty and history of the island with a unique flavor that is pleasantly creamy and buttery with a distinct fruitiness. It's a mildly pungent cheese with a toothsome rind and a texture in between amanteigado (soft) and semi-soft. As the cheese matures, it gets more funky, with flavors of mushroom.
Ingredients: pasteurized cow's milk, cheese cultures, calcium chloride, rennet, salt, potassium nitrate. CONTAINS: MILK

All cheeses we slice to order and wrap in cheese paper as we want you to enjoy original flavor of cheese - not damaged by vacuum or plastic.
All meats which require slicing we slice to order and lay it out on wax paper (deli-style) so it is easy to separate slices. Then we pack it in a plastic pouch with nitrogen purge (again, to make it easy to separate pieces we don't vacuum the meats but use commercial style food grade inert gas mix).
