Ilha dos Misterios

The Azorean island of Pico is home to the largest mountain and volcano in Portugal and home to this little washed rind beauty. Translating to “island of mysteries,” it’s no mystery why we love this cheese. Ilha dos Misterios starts off with a pudgy texture and buttery and fruity flavors. As it ages, this cheese grows funkier with more mushroom notes and a runnier texture.
