Queijo Rabaçal 
Queijo Rabaçal is a traditional cheese from Portugal. It is made from a blend of ewe's and goat's milk. The cheese is known for its semi-hard to hard texture and dull white color. It may have a few small irregular holes or none at all. The cheese is produced using artisanal methods, involving the slow draining of curds after coagulation with animal rennet. The flavor and aroma are influenced by the regional flora and climate. The cheese has a protected designation of origin (PDO) status.
