The Serra da Estrela PDO Mature Cheese, with a minimum natural cure of 120 days, in partnership with TAP, has been available since October 2019 on the MENU signed by Chef Vitor Sobral, on medium and long-haul flights.

This partnership was possible because both companies share the vision of promoting the best of Portuguese gastronomy, providing the thousands of passengers who select TAP for their Aviation Company, a moment of tasting and unique flavors.

Vale da Estrela PDO Mature is a cheese with a protected designation of origin, which is distinguished by a semi-hard, slightly crumbly, unctuous, yellowish paste, with few or no eyes, and obtained through prolonged maturation (up to 18 month cure).

The tasting of this product promotes the refinement of the five senses, leaving in our memory and mouth the palette of flavors, cream, whey, herbs, hay, honey, hazelnut, allowing the distinction of sweet from salty, acid from bitter, and still considering the alkaline taste.

It can be served with rye bread and marmalade and nuts.

We wish you good flights and good flavors.
