Produced on the Pico Island, on the Archipelago of Açores, traditionally in the districts of S. João (it was in fact known for some time as S. João do Pico Cheese), S. Roque, Piedade, Lajes and Ribeira, this cheese is made from cow's milk curdled with animal rennet and aged for about three weeks. It is cylinder-shape, about 3 cm high, 17 cm in diameter and weighs between 700 and 800 g. White-yellow and soft paste, with eyes and very smooth, the Pico Cheese has a lively and somewhat salty flavour.
