Madeira Sweet Rituals: curd cheese, queijadas and herbal tea
Overview
A must for visiting gourmets, this intimate tasting session will introduce you to the highlight cheeses of Madeira. In the small village of Santo da Serra, you will find a family business dedicated to the production and selling of dairy products originated on Madeira Island, using around 90% cow's milk, coming from local producers, a product currently certified as PGI (Protected Geographic Identification) as it is unique in the country.
After this visit, we will proceed with a visit to another small family business that produces "queijadas", tarts made with 70% cottage cheese, flour and sugar. You will watch the preparation and taste this freshly made delicacy.
Afterwards, in a tea house 5 meters way, with a stunning view over the valley and the sea, you will enjoy a refreshing tea made with herbs from the garden, an idyllic and harmonious place, accompanied with local homemade tarts and jams , fresh sweet potato bread and delicious selection of tropical fruit.
