by hugosandro
I don't think I ever seen a good description Portuguese cheeses until this one. Great job!

I've found the Serra da Estrela cheese in Bread in Circus in Cambridge, MA.

Now I wanna be back in Portugal!

Hi Bryan :)
Yeah, I figured Portuguese cheeses would be something unfamiliar to a lot of people.
Thanks for the kind words and I look forward to catching up on your reviews also :)

It's all in the cheese (Reply to this comment)
by Bryan_Carey
When I hear the word cheese, I usually think of Wisconsin, not Portugal. I never knew the Portuguese were so prolific in their manufacture of cheeses. Very Informative review!

P.S. It's nice to see you back, writing epinions again!!! I miss reading your reviews!

Even my Irish Grandmothers would serve one on special occasions.

Nice posting.

It's the cheese! (Reply to this comment)

Thanks for a well written and informative Epinion! I love cheese and I'll definitely make a point to try these once I get back to the States and can find them. Of course, if I ever make it to Portugal, it sounds like I'd be in my version of culinary heaven.
