Who we are

About the farm

On Terceira Island, in Cinco Ribeiras, we make Queijo Vaquinha, the oldest cheese on the island; we opened our first cheese dairy in 1998 and have worked with pasteurised cow's milk since 2002. The milk comes from the cows on our own farm, so we oversee the whole process from milk to ripening, and the cheese is made by hand by our family. Our range includes the Tradicional, O Ilha Terceira, Picante (with Azorean pimenta da terra) and Tipo Ilha (Grande) ripened soft to semi-soft cheeses, which you can also order from our online shop.
