Ribafria Cheese

Ribafria is a wonderfully zesty gourmet cheese produced in Torres Vedras. This aged semi-hard goat’s milk cheese is literally encrusted in black peppercorns for a flavor that is piquant and pungent. Produced in Torres Vedras, Ribafria is rather spicy and makes an assertive statement on the palate and is better if you rub the peppercorns off before serving.The cheese is excellent when paired with a strong red wine or portuguese marmelada sweet (quince paste) for a pleasant contrast.
