Amarelo da Beira Baixa is a name-protected (D.O.P.) raw sheep and goat milk cheese from Portugal's Beira Baixa region. The cheese has a yellowish paste and small irregular holes; its texture ranges from semi-soft to firm. Amarelo da Beira Baixa is coagulated with animal rennet, and our Amarelo is an artisanally-produced version that has a slightly firmer, chewier texture and tangy flavor with a hint of bitterness at the finish. One of the more versatile cheese partners, we recommend that you try pairing the Amarelo da Beira Baixa with your favorite wines; the results may surprise you in its ability to accentuate hidden nuances. |
