World Cheese Day

World Cheese Day

On World Cheese Day, which is celebrated on January 20th, we are present on TVI mornings with the delicious recipes of Chef Luis Gaspar, executive chef of the restaurant Sala de Corte in Lisbon, with the best cheeses from the Azores. 

The chef presents 3 recipes for each one using 3 cheeses with distinct ripening, all from the Azores archipelago of different islands. 

The PDO São Jorge cheese as the name indicates is a cheese from the São Jorge Island, with 30 months of aging, a special edition that marks the celebration of 30 years of history of the Confraria do Queijo São Jorge in favour of this mythical cheese. 

The São Miguel cheese with 9 months maturing time from São Miguel Island, and the Blue Island cheese with 3 months maturing time from Faial Island. 

Each of these cheeses is quite versatile, easily fitting into various recipes or simply a cheese board for all tastes.
