São Jorge cheese PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) is one of Portugal's most famous products, and its history is linked to the history of the island itself. Legend has it that the beginning of cheese production dates back to the mid-15th century.
Production was started by people of Flemish origin who had experience in the production of foodstuffs such as meat, milk, and other derivatives.
Over the years, the traditional production methods have been passed down from generation to generation, with the specific characteristics determined by the island's climate and pasture vegetation being preserved through the raw milk used, ensuring the product is excellent and certified with PDO status.
