Trás-os-Montes goat cheese named Europe's best by TasteAtlas

Queijo de Cabra Transmontano, a hard cheese made from raw milk of Serrana goats, has been ranked the best cheese in Europe by food guide TasteAtlas, which compiled a list of the continent's top 100 cheeses. The guide highlights the cheese's long-standing role in the economy of the Bragança region, where many families raise the goats and make the cheese as their main source of income. It describes the product as firm, round-shaped, with a semi-hard crust and an intense, slightly spicy aroma, typically eaten plain with sliced bread and a local red wine.
