Our Tradition
The company Queijos Fialho & Valverde is 26 years old, having been incorporated on 08/04/1997.
Headquarters in Oriola, Portel.
It develops its main activity in the milk and dairy products industry.
Created by Carmelia and her husband.
He currently has the help of two of his children, Patrícia and Pedro Valverde.
Carmélia grew up helping her father who had a grocery store, made bread, sausages and cheese and went to markets and Lisbon to sell what they produced, as was the custom in the small villages of Alentejo.
Oriola is a village bathed by water and also quite rich in pasture.
It is here that the goats and sheep that give us the milk for our cheeses roam.
They are handcrafted by the wise hands of Carmélia, her children Patrícia and Pedro who help fulfill their mother's dream.
The Oriola cheese factory is a family business where all hygiene and safety rules are complied with.
