Paiva Cured Goat Cheese (Queijo de Cabra Curado) is a premium Portuguese dairy specialty produced in the Douro region. This 2x80g pack offers two small, perfectly portioned wheels of firm, aged cheese known for its distinct aroma and traditional artisan character.

Product Overview

  • Net Weight: 160g (2 x 80g wheels)
  • Origin: Lamego, Portugal
  • Type: Cured Goat Cheese (Curado)
  • Texture: Semi-hard to hard, with a smooth, compact paste.
  • Flavor Profile: Intense, slightly acidic, and "peppery," with the unmistakable character of pure goat’s milk.

Key Features

  • Traditional Curing: Aged slowly to develop a deeper, more complex flavor than fresh goat cheese. The result is a robust taste that lingers on the palate.
  • Pure Goat's Milk: Known for being easier to digest for some people compared to cow’s milk, and much richer in short-chain fatty acids.
  • Perfect for Entertaining: The small 80g format is ideal for:
  • Tapas & Petiscos: Serve whole on a cheese board or slice into wedges.
  • Wine Pairing: Pairs beautifully with bold Portuguese red wines (like those from the Douro or Alentejo) or a crisp, dry white.
  • Salads: Can be crumbled or shaved over a honey and walnut salad for a classic sweet-and-savory contrast.
  • Gourmet Quality: Paiva is an award-winning brand celebrated for maintaining traditional Portuguese cheesemaking methods.
