About
Queijaria Almocreva is a Portuguese artisanal cheese manufacturer specializing in traditional cured sheep's milk cheeses from the Alentejo region. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Penedo Gordo, the company produces distinctive Serpa-style cheeses using raw sheep milk infused with thistle to achieve buttery textures ranging from soft to hard.
- Products: Traditional cured sheep's milk cheeses featuring a buttery paste produced via slow whey drainage of raw milk infused with thistle.
- Industries: The Alentejo pastoral sector and the artisanal food production market.
- Customers: Clients seeking high-quality, traditional Portuguese cheese with strict adherence to ancestral recipes from Serpa.
The firm maintains total control over its supply chain by sourcing milk directly from its own flocks in Baixo-Alentejo. This vertical integration ensures compliance with elevated quality standards while preserving the region's ancient cheesemaking heritage since Roman times.
