Oriola's cuisine celebrates local traditions with Alentejo cheese as the centerpiece, both in traditional dishes and contemporary creations. Our range of cheeses, including cured sheep's and goat's cheeses, is the protagonist of a variety of recipes, from appetizing starters to main courses and charming desserts. Discover our curd queijada, cheese bread with sheep's cheese, or grilled goat's cheese with caramelized figs, each offering a unique experience for the senses.
Curd cheese cheese remains a favorite, mixing the smooth texture of cheese with refined sweetness and aromatic cinnamon, in a dessert that speaks directly to the heart.
For bread lovers, cheese bread with aged sheep's cheese or aged goat's cheese presents an irresistible alternative, where the intense flavor of the cheese merges perfectly with the light and airy dough, promising to start any meal on a high note.
The versatility of sheep's cheese also shines in spaghetti carbonara, where traditional cheese is replaced with this local flavor, adding a layer of depth and richness to the classic Italian dish, transforming it into a celebration of Alentejo flavor.
The tomato bruschetta with goat's cheese and basil is a simple but flavorful starter, ideal for whetting your appetite, while the vegetable pie with puff pastry and goat's cheese combines the crunchiness of the dough with the softness of the vegetables and the distinct touch of cheese, in a perfect harmony of textures and flavors.
Each of these recipes demonstrates the potential of our artisanal Oriola cheeses to transform simple dishes into memorable gastronomic experiences. Our online store opens the doors to these exceptional cheeses, offering everyone, not just Alentejo residents, the opportunity to incorporate a touch of Oriola into their meals.
