Portugal
Description
Until recently, Portugal's traditional sheep's milk cheeses were produced mostly for domestic consumption. Host Will Studd travels through the rugged mountains of the north to find out more about the king of Portuguese cheeses, Serra da Estrela. Originally produced in pre-Roman times, this ancient cheese is still made curdled with the juice of cardoon thistles. In the Azores, on the beautiful island of San Jorge, Will learns more about the benchmark cheeses of "little Switzerland".
