The origin
Fresh cheese from the Azores is an ancient tradition in the region. Cheese production in the Azores islands dates back to the 15th century, when the first Portuguese settlers brought cows to the island.
Since then, the production of fresh Azorean cheese has become an important economic and cultural activity on the islands.
Fresh cheese from the Azores is protected by a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), which means that production, processing and preparation must take place in the demarcated region to guarantee the quality and authenticity of the product.
