Nestled in the picturesque Alentejo region of Portugal, Queijaria Monte da Cegarrega is a family-run venture dedicated to the artisanal craft of sheep cheese production.
With a commitment to quality and tradition, they use milk exclusively from their own herd of dairy sheep, ensuring each cheese reflects the unique terroir of their land.
What sets Queijaria Monte da Cegarrega apart is their dedication to purity. Their cheese is handcrafted with just three ingredients: sheep's milk, cardoon, and salt.
This simplicity allows the natural flavors to shine, resulting in a cheese that is rich, bold, and complex. With a minimum ripening period of 90 days, their cheese develops a well-textured, dry consistency that appeals to lovers of strong, intense flavors.
