Quinta dos Açores Matured Cheeses
Produced in the Azores Inspired by Nature
We offer a wide range of matured cheeses, produced in the Azores using pasture-raised milk.
Our cheeses are traditionally produced using cloth moulds and have a more intense colour and a distinctive flavour, typical of Azorean cheeses, highlighting the quality of pasture-raised milk.
Made with pasteurised cow’s milk, they preserve the nutritional and organoleptic characteristics of their raw material.
- High in calcium, phosphorus and iodine
- Made with pasteurised milk

Mina Cremoso Cheese | 200g and 400g

At the heart of our agricultural land, the fertile and abundant pastures of Mina inspired the name of this cheese.

Morião Long-Aged Cheese | 350g and 700g

The name of this cheese was inspired by one of the Group’s pastures, located near Serra do Morião.

Quinta Garlic & Açaflor Cheese | 200g and 400g
To the mild flavour of our Quinta Amanteigado cheese, we add a distinctive combination: garlic and açaflor.
Açaflor is a spice widely used in Azorean cuisine and comes from a flower. Its reddish threads, besides being decorative, provide a characteristic flavour and give the cheese a yellowish appearance both inside and out.
Quinta Garlic & Parsley Cheese | 200g and 400g
