Title: St. Jorge cheese recipe
Post by: Beans on February 09, 2012, 01:36:10 AM
A few years ago we had some St. Jorge cheese made by the Matos family just outside Sonoma CA.  I've looked for a recipe ever since without success.  It was a semi hard, natural rind, with small air-holes cheese.  Anyone made it before?

I believe what you may be describing is a Portuguese style cheese from the island of St Jorge in the Azores.
Also known as a queijo cheese.
Should be a fairly straight forward affair.
