}}Cheese of Pico ({{lang-pt|Queijo do Pico}}) is a cheese originating from the island of Pico in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. It has been classified as a "Denomination of Protected Origin", in accordance with the laws of the European Union since October 1996.[1][2]

History

It is unknown when Queijo do Pico was first made, but there are references to its fabrication dating as far back as the end of the 18th century; the manner of its preparation has been handed down to descendants since it was first cured.

Characteristics

This cured cheese is produced from cow milk, from a slow coagulation process that takes 20 to 30 days. The cheese is produced in cylinders, in sizes ranging from {{convert|16|cm|in}} to {{convert|17|cm|in|abbr=on}} in diameter and heights of {{convert|2|cm|in|abbr=on}} to {{convert|3|cm|in|abbr=on}}, while weights average {{convert|650|g|lb}} to {{convert|800|g|lb|abbr=on}}. Its fat content ranges from between 45% and 49%, and it is considered a fatty cheese.

The ripening of the cheese forms a yellow exterior irregular crust and yellowish-white, soft and pasty interior. Pico cheese has a salty taste and a characteristically intense aroma.
