What is Zimbro Cheese?
Zimbro (the Portuguese word for juniper berry) is a Portuguese artisanal cheese made from raw sheep's milk in the Serra da Estrela Mountains, in central-northern Portugal.
This vegetarian cheese, crafted with thistle rennet, has a thick, creamy texture and a thin, pale straw-colored rind. Aged for 60 days, it develops a pudding-like interior with a clean, perfumed aroma and a sweet, piquant, and herbaceous finish.
It is best enjoyed by slicing off a thin layer of the top and scooping out the interior with a spoon. Pair Zimbro with a glass of a Douro Zimbro Reserve white wine, or a gin infused with juniper berries.
